The rain continues. But at least Hermes is going to spend the night under cover (as opposed to undercover ... can you imagine a horse detective providing some competition for canine crime fighter Inspector Rex). He has gone next door where he will have company as well as being able to keep dry. This is a sure indication that the rain will now stop - plus M changing the water over from "bore" to "tank".
It's a bit quieter at work these days and when I arrived there this morning - the first one even though I had deliberately arrived a little later than usual to give someone a chance to handle the alarm - it looked as though it was just going to be me for the rest of the day. Thankfully S offered to come in and do lunch with me because there's nothing quite so depressing as trying to keep motivated on a miserable day with no-one else in the office for light relief. (The decision about whether we go ahead or not has been pushed back until to the end of November but just about everyone on the project is looking at their options at this point.)
Well, we're moved from "potholes" to "potholes from hell" to "great craters" here on the Gold Coast - but at least there is debris - gravel, dirt, stones - around some of them to give a bit of warning as you approach. I was surprised that one of the new and emerging potholes is one that had only recently been filled - so there may be some truth in a local resident's comment that one of the causes of this continuing problem is "the inability of Council's road crews to adequately fill in holes in a permanent manner". But at least most roads are still open today.
Here at Latimers, the roof leaks are "contained" and a call has been made to the roof man to see about getting it fixed; M took the rubbish and recycling up to the main road (hmmmm ... does this mean I'm out of a job); and S made a wonderful chicken and vegetable curry for dinner - of which hopefully there will be enough leftover for me to take for lunch tomorrow. Gotta love it!
