Monday 29th June: Rain fell overnight. We knew this because we were woken up by the sound of rain dripping through the roof on to our bedroom ceiling. A roofer had recently fixed this part of the roof after we reported the ceiling there was bulging. They removed the bit of roof insulation there that was sodden but did not replace it. The drip used to fall silently on to it, but now it is loud, so no improvement at all.
Steve spent the morning around town talking to the bank, solicitor, Council, building inspector, estate agents etc in town, gathering more information about the house we recently visited. We schooled, learning about the intestines and practising our Spanish. We also started to make some of the boys' entries for the Waimate Winter Show later this week. The photo shows you Jonathan's entry for the "model" section.
After lunch we went to see another house, but this one did not meet our needs. I took Peter and Jonathan to gymnastics then home for tea. It had rained all day and the chickens were now filthy and wet and very grumpy! As the top temperature today was only 3 degrees, the rain fell as snow on the hills in front of our house.
After tea Steve and I settled down for Desperate Housewives and Spooks.
