Obviously (?) you hadn't got someone sanding whilst you were in bed, but the fact that it stopped when the light was switched on makes me think there may have been a surge or blip in the electricity supply and perhaps that triggered it. (If I sound as if I know what I'm talking about it just shows how full of it I can be!) Our smoke detectors go off if we are using a sander, I think it’s the fine dust.

I also have a mains powered, tamper proof, overly sensitive and VERY loud smoke alarm. Thankfully the former allows me fine control over how long my bread is toasted for allowing me not to set of the latter, no matter how many rounds I do. (For those that are interested the first lot go to just over the 2 mark, just under the 2 mark for the second, and halfway between the 2 and the 1 mark for all subsequent pieces - I don't get out much).

Maybe it works on the often (mis?)quoted Zen principle that a butterfly flapping it's wings in one part of the world causes disasters on the other side... so, someone, somewhere on the planet is having toast; and maybe it's burning. That sounded so much better in my head. :) That is very odd behavior.

Most people I know who are <em>resting</em> stay up until four in the morning, restlessly roaming the electric internet. Filthy place. <em>Filthy</em>.
