Is summer now behind us? ;-)
We have another rainy, blowy day and it's all getting very boring! The only
'good' thing is that the garden is growing beautifully and everything is
blooming like mad.

We had two weeks in UK and returned to find the garden overgrown and the
kitchen
flooded as the result of a storm blocking our drains.
An "expert" spent an afternoon pumping filthy water at high pressure into our
drains. Now not only do we still have a blocked drain, but we also have a
garden
that stinks of sewage.

Oh ugh! Those high pressure hoses can do enormous damage. The owner of my
previous house, which has culverts under the garden, told me that just such
an expert had used a high pressure hose to clear a blockage in the plastic
pipe that replaced the old stone culverts, and tore it to shreds, damaging
the pond liner and causing a serious leak in a pond full of carp!

We braced ourselves for the threatened deluge yesterday afternoon, and got
five minutes of light rain, and nothing today so far. We're still short of
water in the tanks.

Still windy and greyish here with a watery sun trying to come through here
and there.

It's a good job that winter starts receding once we hit the shortest
day, isn't it? ;-)

His plan B was to dig up the whole garden.

Sounds like that old joke about how to get your garden dug over - tell the
police you think there's a body buried there!

His plan C is to rip up the kitchen floor.

The owner of my
previous house, which has culverts under the garden, told me that just such
an expert had used a high pressure hose to clear a blockage in the plastic
pipe that replaced the old stone culverts, and tore it to shreds, damaging

pond full of crap? :-)

No, still full of carp, luckily - yes, I did have to check my spelling!
