Stormy Weather

[Chris Newman]

We are having some light rain here, none too heavy yet. We need a lot here. The soil has two inch cracks where it has dried.

salymap, I hope your war-wound is healing quicly and not annoying.

[Serial_Apologist]

At least Cliff Richard will not come on to sing.

Do you know something we don't, saly?

[Mahlerei]

Heavy, soaking rain here for the past twi hours. Very welcome.

[salymap]

And at 11.45pm still pouring here. Must check front door as rain has a way of coming in at the bottom whatever the 'experts' do to it.

[Mahlerei]

Yes, after midnight and it's still pouring.

[salymap]

I think we had at least 14 hours of really heavy rain last night/this morning. Not very warm either now.

[Mahlerei]

Bad news; when I went into the study this afternoon the rain has come through the ceiling and the carpet is soaking wet. Grrr.

[salymap]

Haven't you been upon the roof to repair tiles etc before. Take care..............saly

Not good, but sortable under the insurance I hope? I had tiles ripped off once, caught tail end of some hurricane, roofers came out immediately and insurance company were brilliant. If it's a flat roof extension then they can be a nightmare, plus finding a competent flat-roofer.

Tiles on a flat roof Anna?

Tiles on a flat roof Anna?

It is indeed a flat roof :( Coming to the end of its life - 10 years since it was redone. Soaked up the water and the carpet is much better; more of a nuisance than anything.

You know me - I wouldn't venture up there any more; that's what sons are for :)

But, as his father you will have to go up and rescue him if he gets stuck up there

Lovely day today but still a strong wind in Kent/SE London

[Mahlerei]

Going to attempt some repairs in the morning as son was called into work early. For once I'm hoping it won't rain :(

[Chris Newman]

I hope Mahlerei is all right on his roof. We had a short but very heavy shower this morning. A lot of military activity on Salisbury Plain is making it noisy too.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

just had a 20 minute heavy shower sun now out ... clean and fresh and yard watered! hollyhocks now over 6' and going strong ... yet to flower ...

clearing lots of stuff and using freecycle, watching something you have no further use for interesting someone else is a joy ...
