It can't rain all the time...

 ... but apparently it can rain a LOT, and so it has been.

It was torrential on Friday and Bekir and Halil didn't come which was a shame but not massively surprising. The weather changed from torrential to promising sun to then absolutely incredible high winds and driving rain that was so heavy it forced its way through our windows and I spent a chunk of the morning running around with towels mopping up floods. It was my final day of work for the year so was a bit busy. The storm blew over and we did get to see some sunset, which was surprising, and at the end of the day Rosie asked again to help with the Model Railway which was just awesome.

There are a couple of videos above the paragraph above and if you can't see them, go here to check them out.

The weekend was a mix of some sunny periods with lots of rain and wind. On Daddy Saturday we went to the shops and played on the trampoline and with the skittles but I did not take many pictures while on Sunday it was nice enough that Angela got to go into the garden with Rosie which was great. We went out in the evening to our favourite restuarant and Rosie had a great time with a birthday party that was going on there.

And so to today. It was raining all day and horrible so the men worked inside all day. First of all they fitted the two new lights into the balcony so now we have good illumination throughout. I had to head out a couple of times, including to the garage to get Thomas looked at, and while I was out the men fixed my guitar hooks which is great. Angela and I did a Bulgarian language lesson today as well and the final task for Bekir and Halil was to refit the bigger boiler. While doing this they changed the timer so now we can see it. At the end of the day we looked at the windows and found that our drains empty behind the insulation, and are blocked, which is far from ideal so that will need to be fixed.

Of course it cannot rain all the time and right now it is snowing...

So there you are; the long weekend and today. Thanks for reading.
