Plane lands at 2.00am - house on fire by 7.00am

Just as dramatic as it sounds, BA had a plane fault which took 4 hours to rectify and then only by swapping planes, so Sarah and Charis arrived in Accra at 2.00am, 1 hour in Immigration and Baggage reclaim and then we made it to a sleepy house by 3.10am....sat and chatted after waking Karen for a few minutes, and that made about 23 hours for my day!!. Sleep atlast..

So then I thought I'll wake at 7am and get to work ready for the management meeting, well at 7am there was this crazy banging noise on our front gate...really frantic and shouting, loud shouting, so with a start and nothing but underpants and T shirt (too much info I know) I ran out and tried still in the twilight zone to understand what the commotion was about...."You're house is on fire!!" ....very quickly I could smell a pungent plastic burning and ran like lightening to the side of the house to find a fuse smouldering black up the side of the wall..... no flames, and the fuse I am advised must have been arcing for a while...
