Wow, that was some heavy rain we've just had!

So heavy in fact that it forced its way under our front door and needed lots of newspapers to mop it up! The sky turned an ominous charcoal grey and suddenly the sky opened and all of this water just appeared... even the cars on the motorway were forced to slow down (and seeing how mental a lot of the people that drive along it are, that's a miracle in itself, lol!)

It seems to have eased now, for which I'm glad... I don't think we'd have had enough old newspapers to have dealt with much more of it.

Mum got her new Blackberry today, so I'm having her old one... it's a lovely phone and I'm determined that Sissy is not going to destroy it, so I'm having it. I've got a small contract all set up, now all I need is for Mum to hand over her old one, LOL! I admit that I have missed the 8520 Curve BB that I had before xmas and I really missed being able to nip onto the net and look stuff up (normally I'd have to rely on this laptop and it's reaching closer and closer to reaching critical mass so having another option for keeping in touch with people is a nice back up in case this machine decides to give up the ghost completely when I least expect it).

Hopefully I'll also be able to better keep this site updated as I don't like doing so on my laptop, just in case "someone or other" starts poking their nose(s) in where they don't belong!
