There is a satisfying click when you pry the white plastic cover off light switches.  I get that most normal people don’t spend their time prying off light switch covers (most normal people don’t blog about these things either), but I thought I’d share the experience.  I had decided to venture down the electrics aisle at Bunnings (the Australian hardware store where I spend way too much time).  It is an intimidating aisle.  So many switches and cords and such.  But then I found it: shiny brass light switch covers.  It was like learning that Radiohead has decided to put on an Australian tour that includes Canberra, but better (well, almost).
