Grey, muggy and raining here chez Casa Reynard.

Planned bike time and garden time has been canned. Had a kitchen morning instead, and also did some tidying up.

Going to have some lunch shortly, then will pop into town to pick up some art supplies and put some fuel in the car. I also need to get some fuel for the mower.

So, most of the water has descended into the flat downstairs but the tenant isn't in. She's going to get a shock when she gets home!

From 10am it started raining. Still going.

Wet here too. Indoors and out. Meanwhile, of course, the water for the whole block is off.

Blame me. I got my bike out at 9:55am. All ready to go and had to grab a gilet and arm warmers for the rain that had appeared.

Still raining here. Apparently it's my fault according to the cats.

Going to scrub the trip to the art shop. I've no intention of getting wet. I do, however, have to go for a new mop-and-bucket. The parental unit has managed to wreck her mop and the bucket has sprung a leak.

So, it's a stray water day all round!

Back at my "work" apartment.

Although I miss my family, I'm glad to have a job at the moment.

Also, this view on the way from the station never gets old:

Weekend has arrived and it's raining but not enough to worry about
Hopefully it will be dry or same early hours tomorrow

Hope she's got insurance.

Fingers crossed for dry and spectacular sunrise.....l think it's a forlorn hope in my neck of the woods .....awesome deluge today !

It's the building contractors who'll need the insurance. Considering the thousands of gallons of water that came down in here and the fact that most of my floors are already dry, that's where the water ended up or at least passed through....

Thank christ or good fortune the day is in its dying hours. From sweating blood trying to assist my partner in filling out a tax return via telephone and whatsapp to my afternoon caller who appeared without prior announcement.
Picture a 2M tall toddler with a very active imagination and a taste for drink, I try not to laugh too much when he hits his head on the beam that only just clears my own 1.8M carcass, he always forgets to duck.
I am not sure what spectrum he is on and whatever it is it does come filtered by sociopathy. On the table is a Pelicase and in the Pelicase is an XRF gun awaiting a replacement source. He pretended that he did not notice it but was obvious the safety orange coloured case was prickling his curiousity.
"Its an XRF gun, the one I checked your mums jewelry with". "Can we try it on some things"? "No we can't, open another beer".

A workman has just drilled a hole in a water main and all the water has gone into my flat

I followed this backwards to its origin because I am inherently stupid. Its like the punchline is at the beginning. I should not laugh, maybe I will check my own policy cover first and then risk a laugh.
