Wiring should be fine then
It may well have just been a surge at the transformer...

Best thing to do:
when you get in take a shower and ensure that you are still wet from head to foot...

If possible have a bowl of water handy to stand in...

Turn on as many electrical items as you can...

and then run your (still wet) hands over the plaster work to see if you can locate any charge.

do you really think that will work?
I already have curly hair, I don't want a perm...

Insert a lightbulb (low wattage)
into your rectum to ensure the current doesn't go to your hair
