Where's 'here'? I'm in Newcastle and my back yard is virtually flowing
down the block and out onto the street! All the local canals and drains
have risen level with their banks and if it doesn't clear up soon, we'll
have a repeat of the floods we suffered last year! Yick!
Not to belittle your ceiling problem, but it's been raining in my back
room for a week now. Three buckets and a very nasty feeling when
raindrops keep falling on my head as I type this! We have a tin roof, so
of course the rain manages to blow itself forcibly underneath to pool on
the ceilings. Yes, the sound of rain on a tin roof can be charming, but
not the way it's been lately. They're predicting sun for the end of next
week, which is good: local Scouts are having their Aviation Activities
weekend.
We hope...
