Tea?

No, not that. Not under any circumstances.

It's a funny feeling here: no planes, much less traffic, but still a number of professions are working as normal. This means it's a lot quieter but there's still enough movement that it feels reasonably normal.

It's as though everyone has clocked off and left work, with only one or two slower at getting away, here.

Even the dawn chorus seems loud now. Even the pigeons have packed up and gone.

How many non-floating houses have portholes?

One so far in my personal experience, although there may be more.

Doesn't include the one being built yesterday though.

 

[Andy in Germany]

No floor is a bit of a problem right enough.

In the context of buoyancy, yes.

Bow and stern missing as well?

Not too late to cancel and get the money back for this boat trip you had planned, if the rain didn't stop.

Somehow I don't think boat building is quite your area.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

How odd was the rain?

It was wet..
and I couldn't see it as it was nighttime....

 

[classic33]

Nowt odd about either of those.
When did you last see dry rain, and,
nighttime means you were probably asleep.

Maybe it was all just a dream!
