A day of rain so far (my mum would be really envious, she needs quite a lot more in East Anglia for her allotment), and a tad chilly to boot! Sitting watching the rain fall, and noticed a loud trickling of water, noticed the downpipe is not connected to the roof guttering, and the rain has been so heavy that its overflowing the pipes and running down the side of the house, will get that fixed before the winter sets in. It's not our house, but feel the need to look after it nonetheless. I don't think its received much TLC over the last few years, as I sat on the computer sorting out more forms, noticed a distinct lack of water coming down the drainpipe to the side of our garage. The wall was getting really wet and the water was also overflowing over the top. I stuck a knife up the base of the pipe, and out flew a childs toy, followed by a satisfying explosion of soil and leaves, thankfully a quick reflex reaction backwards at this point stopped me turning head to toe brown :-) Now at least, there is a steady trickle of water down the pipe...!
