The pain of remembering

[wayfaringwordhack]

The dry season has come and is in the process of going. I had forgotten what rotten headaches the atmospheric pressure gives me just before the rainshowers here.

A downpour started at 5:30am, waking me, and I rushed to put a bucket under one of the leaks. When the rain finally let up, I saw that we had collected 3-4 liters. Really going to have to call Aïcha and get her to fix it. If not, we'll hire the work out and deduct it from the rent. I'm not spending another rainy season using all my pots and pans to collect leak-runoff.

Eek - sounds like a film set! Except it's not half so amusing when it's your house, not on a big screen, I bet.

Well, here's hoping you get your roof fixed pdq :)

not even a quarter as amusing. :P

You have my sympathies.

Bandit's just discovered that his old bike jacket is mildewed and we keep being invaded by slugs. So we're being reminded of the change of seasons back here, too ;-)

So it was you who sent the vibe that prompted me to pick the 'icicles' theme for my LJ, was it?

Did I mention the fine dew on the grass, the bright autumn sunshine, my breath steaming like dragon's breath in the cold air, the yellowing leaves, the toadstools - all on the walk to the supermarket? I didn't?

Well, there you go, then :)

I'll see what the weather brings ;-)

Have you looked at the photos on llygoden's page? She lives in Wales, so it's pretty much variations on winter all of the time *g*

Some beautiful, autumnal shots there.

But... leaks create atmosphere!

Ah, is that what it's called? :P
