Hi, stoppers! 

Nice one Erinp Evening Stoppers

Cheers peeeps

Lori, I read about your troubles, that's so harsh I hope all is fixed promptly and that you'll be back in your house real soon

Thanks, Sweet! They told us "3-4 weeks" yesterday...and they aren't starting the real work until next Monday, because they have to dry the place out.

Thanks, Sweet! They told us "3-4 weeks" yesterday...and they aren't starting the real work until next Monday, because they have to dry the place out. 

 What a pain Lori! Was it an *internal* flood??

Yes, internal (the first thing people say when they hear we had a flood is, "but you live on a hill!") The line to the icemaker in the refrigerator broke. Was hours before it was discovered...Bob came home to water coming out of the downstairs ceiling...

 We had something similar a few years ago... but luckily it didn't get quite as far as yours. I came home from work , walked into the kitchen and suddenly wondered why my feet were wet The hot water tank... in the airing cupboard above the kitchen..... had  developed a split....but luckily I came home before it broke wide open. I was able to turn the water off, and run all the taps to drain the tank!!! The kitchen ceiling was a mess, and the smell of wet floorboards was   for ages..... but nowhere near the sort of damage you've had!!!

Well, it sounds bad enough, Baz! Lucky you came home when you did, and got right to it, emptying the tank!!

I would have no clue how to turn the water off

Me, either, erin! Thank God Bob was the one to find it! 

And did I mention that I'd been over helping my parents move out of the farmhouse they've been in for 25 years when he called me?? I was 2 hours away from home... I stepped from one #$%$## pile into another! 

I sent an email to staff here and said, "If things happen in 3's, I better fasten my seatbelt..."

I'm still waiting! 

Some Lucky White Heather for Lori

Ooo, isn't THAT pretty!

I didn't know white heather was lucky. I'm gonna stock up!

Baz, you and I can huddle here at the bus stop waiting....

 Yes.... maybe we had better move in!! 

Flowers have long been assigned certain symbolic meanings, and the heather flower is no exception. It can represent admiration, beauty and good luck, and it can also be associated with solitude and protection. More specifically, the colour of the heather flower influences its meaning. Traditional purple heather is used to represent admiration, beauty and solitude, while pink heather is associated with good luck. If white heather is chosen, it means protection from danger.

Well, that seems the right choice, then, doesn't it? 

Is that for you or for someone else? 

 almost, sweet!
