desperanceI may have mentioned it before, but this house pings in the rain. Drops work their way down inside the flues, which are all sheet-metal. Ping! Ping! It's extraordinarily untuneful and arhythmic.
From which site-report you may gather that it is raining. In Sunnyvale, in September. I am appalled. I had planned to work in the garden, but uh-uh. It's wet out there.
Also, you will deduce that we have flues. Of course we do - but the legendary USian urge to excess applies even here, on the roof. I counted last week, and I believe we have sixteen flues, chimneys and vents. That's not counting windows, or ordinary externalia. That's excrescences from the roof alone. That's one for the boiler, one for the dryer, one for the kitchen extractor fan and one for the bathroom, and, um... Well. Twelve more. *shrugs*
Karen's gone to Bardic; I'm going to hockey later, if someone comes to pick me up. In the meantime I have cold pork sammiches (for last night's dinner was triumphant, thanks) and coffee, and much that I could do withindoors and very little that I want to, so. I'm thinking sofa, book, om nom slurrup. Maybe I'll do some work later, maybe...
