Drama's in February
This last weekend has been a whirlwind! On Saturday Tom and Phil spent the day putting a new sound system into Tom's car. While they were doing that I went into the bathroom wondering where the smell of urine was coming from and why our bathmat was wet. Then I flushed the button and the toilet drain started to bubble up. So I went out the backyard to where the sewerage pipe was and took off the lid. As I took off the lid water was gushing out the side and this massive poo floated to the top...so of course I screamed my little lungs out, ran around the corner screaming that there was a poo! Anyway, we called the plumber and they cleaned out the drains and all has been good since...although I don't know where the poo went!
Later on that evening Phillip and I were about to go out to drop Solomon off at his Nana's house while we went out on the town. We were going to go to the Multicultural Festival in the city but just before we left I checked the weather on the internet and decided that there was going to be rain so we'd just go to the club for some drinks instead. But just as we were about to leave the rain hit...and it hit hard. Within a couple of minutes the roof started to leak in our sun room where the computer, couches and my desk is situated. I started to unplug what I could of electrical things and took them into the lounge room and as I was doing this the roof started to leak more. By the time the electrical things were out we had to get rid of everything else in the room because the whole place was like one big waterfall. It rained heavily for over an hour. The backyard flooded and began seeping into Sam's bedroom. And our courtyard was about 30cm deep. And the skylight in the kitchen was leaking too. It was crazy. And all this time Solly was sitting on the floor in the lounge having a winge because he needed to go to bed. Once the rain slowed and the roof wasn't raining we put Solomon to bed and spend the next hour mopping up the water. Now we've got a big blower until Tuesday to dry out the carpet.
We didn't go out that night.
