Finally wired the new lighting in the study!
It's the only room in the house with no crawlspace, so it took two of us - Michael (who'd only stopped by for a cup of tea) to feed the cable up through the ceiling, and me in the loft space above the bathroom shouting directions while reaching across to the study with a pair of cutters taped to a pole to makeshift cherry-picker.
Incredibly, I snagged the target on the first attempt, and it actually took longer to climb in and out through the hatchway than it did to pull the cable through!
That's the very last piece of old rubber-insulated wiring replaced, and once I've blanked off the original wall-mounted lamp, I can put bookshelves all along that wall. Fab.
Still have to make an aesthetic decision about the living room lights though ...
