Crash Bang Wallop What a Big One

Somebody left the skylight to our bedroom opened yesterday. They knew that there was a chance of showers, but didn't expect the Summer Storm of the Decade to hit. I returned home to discover that the two inch gap at the top of the window had allowed buckets of water to soak the carpet and the bed. The rain had descended through layers of duvet, sheets, more sheets, a sleeping bag, and porous rock to soak the mattress. The carpet was drenched, and despite sponging with old towels, it was still wet this morning.

It was me who left the window open.

The lovely Falcon pub -- 200 yards down the road -- had a fire engine pumping its cellars out all night.

Good storm.


Out of Hospital

Gran came out of the JR yesterday. She's back at home and pleased to be sleeping in her own bed.


A House Divided

Vic went back to work on Monday for her first three day week. India was at the nursery on Monday and today. Yesterday she was looked after by my mum and dad. As expected, Vic hates it.
