Will the rain ever stop?

What a summer! I am secretly glad that we haven't moved into the mobile home yet - the rain and wind yesterday was awful! There was a stream running down the hill when we got up this morning and there's more forecast tomorrow. At least it did stop and brighten up for a while.

Daithi and Paul put in the lintel above the back door today and hung the huge french windows which were my bargain reclaim. They look great - I had visions of me with my glass of wine walking out to the orchard and sitting in the summer sun(!) with a good book when it is all over (global warming may make it summer here by then).

We have a new carpet for the living in the area in the mobile home and the boys bedroom. The bathroom still needs a good clean but there isn't much rat damage that I can see. I will be bleaching the whole place thoroughly though! D-Day for moving in looks to be next weekend just in time for Liam to go back to school but Daithi needs to lay the carpets and do some work on the underfloor first. I hope the landlord will tolerate us for a couple of weeks if we need it....
