And off to bed we worry...

(posted by Elizma)

To say we're nervous tonight as we prepare for bed is an understatement. We have no roof and only a thin sheet of plastic covering our house and Britain is preparing for the worst storm in 20 years. The South of England (where we are) is expected to bare the brunt of it.

It's Murphy's Law of course as the builders planned to start putting our roof up tomorrow. But if it's too windy (anticipated winds of up to 80mph), it will probably be too dangerous and wet for them to work on the scaffolding. We're also worried about water damage in the rest of our house as a downpour of only 10 minutes last night already leaked through in all the upstairs rooms.

If only the storm could have waited a couple of days...
