I’m sulking
You see this wet, disconsolate bird? It’s well past his bedtime, but he didn’t get out at all today because of rain. When I went to lock up, he stood in his run looking so miserable I took pity and let him out for a bit. I snapped this through the kitchen window.
It was like the apocalypse earlier. Thunder, lightning, the whole bit. I took the bus in and caught a ride with Uncle B home. I’ve been sitting here sulking ever since.
When it rains this hard, the roof leaks in several places. We know what the problem is. We’ve sought a few bids and then it’s a race to get it done before the weather crashes.
Some years, summer’s over like somebody flipped a switch. I’m really, really hoping that’s not what this is.

“I took the bus in and caught a ride with Uncle B home.
Which reminds me to ask, how are you doing with your Electric Bike?

Leaky roofs and broken pipes are literally the stuff of my nightmares.
Possibly because all of the costly things that have gone wrong round here in 35+ years have involved water.
Summer is hanging on here, though it’s obvious the change is coming.

Electric bike is fine. Eight, nine years, second battery.
