Geen nachtrust
Pros:

Alles was hoe het hoort te zijn

Cons:

Niet kunnen slapen omdat ons licht om de 20min aansprong, om 2 uur ‘s nachts de schakelaar (motion sensor) bestudeerd, gezet hoe die van de badkamer stond (off) maar dit maakte het probleem nog erger. Om 4 uur in de ochtend maar beslist de lampen eruit te draaien…
