mrphBah. I seem to have run out of storm. I was enjoying that.
On the plus side, the bathroom now has a bath again (albeit with a big "Do not touch!" sign on it), the courier got here and collected the picture for Harrods, BT have upgraded my broadband, the bathroom door's been replaced with one that opens the other way and stuff is generally going well.
The gardeners didn't turn up, but that's not entirely unexpected. And you can't have everything, can you?

Date: 2008-09-03 10:31 am (UTC)Our house was built in (I think) the 30s, out of a mysterious substance unknown to modern builders. If you drill a hole in our wall - no matter how carefully - a small trickle of dust runs out the hole. Then a large trickle. Then before you know where you are the whole of the inside of the wall is pouring out of the hole, and the edges are crumbling, and large chunks of plaster are falling out... It's quite scary. You don't put holes in the wall here if you can possibly help it.
I don't object to the house shaking in response to large concussions, I've just never known thunder have that effect before.
