I think you'll find that, if you you think about it, it's (actually) not exactly pedantry...more some kind of dictioanallic variationalism. (Dude)

Be still my beating heart...

 

We have just had about six inches of rain in half an hour (I may exaggerate).

I am not exaggerating when I say TWO LITRES of water came through the kitchen ceiling, via the same hole I poked in the ceiling last time it flooded.  TWO LITRES in about fifteen minutes (well, it had to back up the whole downpipe first, didn't it?!).

I have mopped up, mostly rescued the books that were just below, and I have taken pictures.  Lots of pictures of the rain.  And film.  Of the rain.  Sweet Jesus.

I wouldn't mind this sort of malarkey half so much if the only problem was hailstones on the bedroom carpet (they were huge.  HUGE.  At least a centimetre across.  HUGE.  Some of them nearly 2cm.  Really), and rain incursing through open windows. 

Oh yes.  There was a LOT of thunder too. 

Did I mention the hailstones?

Pictures when I can find a cable.  Am trying to charge BB. 

Any more thunder and you'll find me under the table.  I don't care what you send, but please, make it tangible.  And preferably Welshman-shaped with accompanying hug.  I am Not Good at thunder.

Incidentally.  Have handed over job.  Now on gardening leave until Friday week.  Am having 24 hours off and then getting with the programme again.  Informed colleague who is apparently capable of doing EVERYTHING to do with the database that when it came to the troubleshooting, call for instructions as and when, since it's very hard to teach troubleshooting with nothing to troubleshoot.

Need. Gin.

I don't know why it is that when things like this happen, they all seem to happen at once.

Maybe Murphy has something to do with it.

These are things that you might be able to deal with if they came one at a time rather than all at once, but when they all happen at the same time, it's really unbearable!

I hope things get better for you really soon!

The rain scared me. So much so fast...


Luckily my newly repaired kitchen roof held up. I must congratulate the roofer.


I will envy you your lie in tomorrow. Gardening leave is an excellent thing and keep my fingers crossed you find a new job soon preferably to start in 4 or 5 weeks so you get a good rest first while still paid.
