Ladders and leaks

Jun 03, 2008 18:57

Long sleepless night last night up and down with torch every 30 mins checking status of leak in ceiling and changing towels and buckets. Felt like I was a heroine in a disaster film but still waiting for leading man to turn up and sweep off into the sunset at the end. *sigh* Never happened. You know? Life sucks. I prefer movies. Rain finally ( Read more... )

real life and all that jazz

Ta. Hasn't rained all day despite menacing clouds and the sound of Bobby's voice from the heavens saying 'Storm's coming.' So don't know if roof fixed or not :(

Yup. All that writing time wasted running around with buckets.

well it rained here too....I think it was all your buckets cos it just kept coming down.

I have another 1000 words on Ghosts...\O/ Yea! I think I am going to can them.../O\ Boo!

I spent all day cajoling service agents to do jobs they had promised to do already and hadn't or updating speadsheets or cajoling a stupid web based application to work when it didn't want to...::sigh:: tomorrow I get to concentrate on a different spreadsheet and paying invoices ... er ... yea! /O\

...and now here I sit listening to Bonnie Rait and thinking of lemons and sunshine and coffee...

Hugs for the roof. Lets hope you tame tradesman is right and no more leaks. :-)

That definitely was my buckets (I was tossing them over the fence at you!)

1,000 words - yay! No can yet, wave at me first!

Dunno about leak. No rain today. Waiting waiting

Yup. Longest and most severe drought since the 50s I think. Few storms here and there have not changed that though. Not enough rains falling on farmland, or in catchment areas for the dams. Checked the Water website today and the 3 for our area together are still only at about 37% capacity. We're still on severe water restrictions, with a certain no. of litres of water per person per day for everything. So it is a shame to see any drops wasted by hitting my carpet.

Darned guttering is stupidly vented straight into the storm water drains. What a waste.
