Sorry I did not reply to all feedback yesterday. I feel the rain affected the wifi connection as all the pieces went gradual.
Typical! was my thought on Monday morning once I felt the en-suite radiator and located it stone chilly, that was after I might appeared out of the bed room window and seen the ice on the automotive windscreen. I pulled on some garments, coat and hat and went to the storage to have a look at the boiler – yep – low stress gentle was on and, Thank Heavens, that is the one boiler downside I’ve realized tips on how to remedy in my 2½ years right here.
After I might bought warmed up and had breakfast it appeared like a good suggestion to do one other factor I’ve needed to be taught since Colin died – checking the automotive tyres and placing some air in. It is simple now I’ve bought a hand-held battery powered compressor factor – it appears like a battery drill and the directions, which I’ve to learn each time I exploit it, are in plain English.
The chilly climate did not final and the remainder of the week was milder with some damp mornings however I zoomed around the again grass one afternoon earlier than the battery ran out once more on the mower – it is not holding it is cost so lengthy these days. One other job finished this week was to present the within of the greenhouse glass a great wash, I am prepared for subsequent spring now apart from the worst job of washing all of the pots. I am going to try this contained in the greenhouse someday utilizing the water butt stuffed with water that is in there all summer season as a fundamental form of heat-sink.
No train group once more as {the electrical} work on the village corridor had over run (No shock there then!) So a visit out for a go to and for buying and a stroll up the highway for a haircut and library van had been my solely outings.
Friday was the day that we bought the heavy rain that had been talked about all week and rain it actually did. This was what occurred simply a couple of yards down the highway on the nook.
The little ditch that often has no water working by way of it was overwhelmed by water working off the fields – the sewer pumping station just isn’t far-off on the precise of this picture under – very worrying!
Water was arising out of the drains
and 4 x 4’s had been going by way of gently
and it bought worse a couple of hours after this picture. I used to be very glad I hadn’t booked a swim as I would not have gotten house and may not have even bought to the pool anyway as there are a number of locations on the best way there that in all probability flooded.
At noon I texted son to inform him that I might heard that my village was roughly minimize off for small automobiles and he’d in all probability have to make use of the works van to select up Daughter-in- Legislation from our main faculty right here and the kids from their main/pre faculty within the subsequent village. He rang again some time later to say faculties had been closed and stated he’d needed to strive 2 alternative ways to get from his workplace to our village and been by way of rivers working down roads between our village and the kids’s faculty. There was a transit van floating in a single place! and worse information was that that they had no water out of the faucets of their a part of their village. I immediately stuffed up some jugs – simply in case. That is all very uncommon for Suffolk.
Very glad that my bungalow is a number of ft up above highway stage and a great factor that there have been no burials being ready on the burial floor over the highway, the mini digger would have made a proper ol’ mess getting by way of the gate – coffins would have floated in any graves dug!
Locations in Scotland had much more flooding than our little little bit of Suffolk and I actually really feel for the individuals who’ve needed to transfer out of their properties and will probably be going again to a dreadful mess.
I might thought of visiting one other Nationwide Belief property this weekend earlier than their occasions change for winter however the heavy rain could have brought on floods in all places so possibly not.. I am going to positively be watching the second semi-final of the Rugby World Cup when England play South Africa. England have finished so effectively to get to the final 4 as they had been roughly written off after their poor performances of their pre-tournament friendlies. I’ve managed to observe almost all of the video games however can England beat South Africa ? that’s the query.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
I will be again Monday with Octobers library e-book picture
Sue.
