Still Stormy?

Although Ciara and her successor Dennis the Menace are long gone, the prom remains in something of a state:

I guess there's no point clearing up if there's more storms to come . . .  but looking forward to some summer sunshine now!

Down the Drain

After suffering a 'blockage' at the weekend, extracting the drain rods from the garage, failing to clear said 'blockage' and managing to leave at least three drain rods inside the drain (adding to the problem), we thought we'd better call in the professionals . . .

Soon had everything 'moving' again - they then put a camera down the drain to locate the missing rods, but unfortunately couldn't get their gizmo to attach to the end of the nearest drain rod, so had to leave them in situ.

Update 16 February
Bought ourselves something called a 'drop scraper' and some new drain rods (which screw together properly) and went 'fishing' - and hurrah! - drain rods retrieved.  Phew!

Storm Ciara

February hasn't been with us for long, and the weather has taken a turn for the worse, with the advent of Storm Ciara . . .  not that Aberystwyth fared that badly:

This is still a far cry from the damage we saw in January 2014, and other areas of the country have seen much worse.

Hopefully that's it for 2020!
