We’ve got a leak in our roof :( Well, it’s either that, or the horizontal rain that we experienced the other day got into a vent, and then seeped through the ceiling. Either way, what started out as a small spot of seeping water last night escalated into bubbling paint and more drips by the time we got up today. So M decided to drill some holes into the ceiling to let the water out, and hopefully prevent any more damage. There was obviously a lot of water trapped in the ceiling, because a steady stream of water came out for a few minutes after the first hole was drilled. M drilled another hole where it seemed water was gathering, and soon we had two steady streams of water. It was sort of cool to watch in a what-a-bugger kind of way. Our own little rain inside! Anyway, hopefully insurance will cover some of it; we’ll investigate tomorrow.

I bought some shoes to replace my rattly work ones. On the one hand, I’m pleased I got them because they look cool, and it’ll be good to wear new shoes. On the other, they’re FM boots, and I don’t know whether I really want to wear them to work every day. I guess I’ll get used to them. And I’ve got some long skirts that I now have shoes to wear with, so that’s good.
