It has finally, if only temporarily, stopped raining. But is due to start again this afternoon. That was a lot of water. Yesterday was pretty quiet - only 30mm's in our area. We can now categorically state that our house is rain-proof. And that there is no such thing as flood proof, and that we are not terribly susceptible.
R was on camp duty last night. We seem to be getting better at organising this. R takes the kid into camp and feeds him there, and brings him home all happy and fed. The kid then pokes round the house till bedtime, which is automatically changed to allow him to sleep in the big bed with Mum. Everybody seems happy with this arrangement.
Took advantage of a gap in the rain to go for a walk with the dog. She is in disgrace at present for using the indoors as a toilet and is therefore spending a bit more time outside, whether she wants to or not. Quite honestly, we wouldn't mind being dogless now. With the kid (and soon to be kids) the dog is just one too many things that needs to be looked after. When Sally goes, we plan to be a cat house, with No Dogs. It was good to get out of the indoors for more than five minutes, and not need to wear wet weather gear.
