By the early evening yesterday, with no sign of the rain letting up, we were up to four buckets in the bedroom and it was beginning to look like we'd be sleeping in the spare room. Too much noise from the plipping and the plopping to do anything else.
We did have half a plan to put the laundry, some dust sheets and some towels under it all in the hope that it would quieten things down enough for us to get to sleep, but by bedtime as it turned out the rain had stopped and so, eventually, did the drips. Must remember to take the roofer's number with me to work tomorrow.
Paid a flying visit to my Mum today, just to buck her up a bit. She's still feeling very sorry for herself but the good news is the infection is getting better, the wound is not weeping any more and she's off the injected antibiotics. The bad news is she's rubbed her other heel raw with having to have her feet propped up all the time, so she's now bandaged up on both legs. She looks like half a mummy. We had a good laugh about that. She's still very weak and I'm more than a little pissed off that the hospital sent her home and expected her to cope on her own without arranging any help. I'll be calling Social Services tomorrow to see if they can do anything about helping her out with meals and general chores.
The other bad news was posted on the digital signs over the M1 southbound. Carriageway widening is about to start from junctions 28 to 25 and the sign says "Roadworks from Jan 27 until October 2010. Delays expected." October 2010?!?! Deep joy.
