Since my last Spring post, winter came back with a vengeance. How ironic. We had one day of heavy snow last week, which through an unfortunate series of events flooded the boiler in my house quite dramatically.
Luckily this happened in April rather than December, where a couple of days without heating and hot water was an inconvenience rather than actually dangerous. And *very* luckily, it happened while we were at home to notice. If the flood had started while we were out at work, it would have brought the ceiling down and probably destroyed a lot of our computer equipment before we could have done anything about it. So, an expensive month, but it could have been a lot worse.
