The roof is finally fixed. At least it seems to be as no water has been dripping onto Calum's head at night. I'll go up into the attic to check tomorrow. It seams like last week but this time I am pretty sure that it will be drier up there this week. Last Saturday I found my suspicions were correct and the leak was still present. Luckily the plastic the council put in place was funnelling the water out by way of the eaves. Then on Monday Magz let them in to have a look before they headed onto the roof to fix the problem. They said it was the flashing around the chimney as they thought. I'm just glad that the house is now drying out. That smell of damp has started to fade thankfully.
On a lighter note it is my son's birthday today. He's nineteen now. It makes me old just thinking of it. It only seems like yesterday he was my little babe in arms. Now he has a job and took his first driving lesson yesterday. Where has the years gone, eh? They have just slid by so fast. Nothing like special occasions to make you think of the years passing. Well enough of that I have a weekend ahead of me and I believe there is some birthday cake to be eaten, hehehe.
