Old Boar's blog (Old Boars blog)

I swore to myself that I would not fill this blog with notes about the weather. Well, I'm not going to put lots of "weather stuff" in here, but the weather at the moment deserves some mention. Last week I found myself sheltering in a bus-shelter for quarter-of-an-hour while the rain abated. This week it seems to be getting worse.

I'm pleased to say I fixed my (elderly) neighbour's gutter at the weekend. The roof was so hot that I almost burnt myself when I put my hand on it. I did point out that he needs to get the whole roof looked at by a professional. Even I can see signs that it must be leaking. The trouble is: first, I don't think he'll do anything, and second, if he does, I fear he is an easy target for the unscrupulous. Still, I do what I can, and you can't live other people's lives for them.
