After three glorious weeks of sunny spring weather, the rain has arrived today with a vengeance. There were only light showers this morning while I was doing Grandma's grocery shopping, but now the rain is battering down. It doesn't bother me today; it was predicted so we had already planned an afternoon of batch cooking followed by a traditional evening of the Eurovision Song Contest! And it's still warm; we are still in the springtime.
However, to his horror, James suddenly noticed that our gutters are blocked, so the rain was streaming down the French windows into the foundations of the house.
"Blocked again so soon?" he cried in anguish and rushed outside armed with the stepladders, a coat hanger, a pair of pliers, and, perhaps most bizarrely, a pair of salad tongs. Job done, he has just come back inside soaked to the skin!
