Moan of the day.

Hi all
This morning I came down to a small leak in the kitchen coming from the roof, fencing panel down, our new back dining room door sounding like a wailing siren from the wind, Poor Pat is going to be busy (joke)

I hope everyone else is fairing better than me in this appalling weather :-)

I sympathise, Malcolm. The gale was so noisy here that it woke me up [bear in mind that I wear 2 hearing aids, but not in bed!] and I was so worried about the plant pots I'd put out just yesterday, all left balanced on the wall of the pond, that I was soon outside the back door in pyjamas, boots and a mac, moving stuff to ground level and being bowled over by a very wet cat! Happy days!
Best wishes,
Gillie.

well i'll raise you four smashed roof tiles and a flat car battery!! the battery was flat 'cos we got home during the monsoon, ran indoors and left the lights on!!
upshot was i was out there in the rain, trying to connect the battery charger, having worked out how to get the car doors open with no battery power!! (yes i know now, there's a keyhole on the drivers door, 4 inches from the wet privet hedge!
now where did i put the roofers telephone number??
good luck malcolm and pat, well done gillie - anyone else??
take care - john

Hi Gillie & John
At least the wind has died down and my noisy door has stopped, you made me chuckle John with your wet privot hedge, I hope you get your roof fixed soon.

Gillie, Pat left her plants out on the frame and they were all still there this morning and amazingly only a bit flattened from the rain.

They keep on about the hosepipe ban but who is going to use a hose this weather :-)

Hi all,
Well in jolly Evesham the rain has stopped today. That of course hasn't stopped the Avon from continuing to rise. Just as well we're on the hill well away from the flood plain. People are complaining about ducks swimming on the paths at the park, however it is onlr really considered serious when there are swans swimming on the football pitches!
Hope you're all ok and roofs are now seales, batteries charges and plants rescued.
