Après

Before the spectacular deluge I started filling a hole in the wall of our house that I only recently, thanks to the Pest Control Officer, learnt was there. To be completed soon. Out, out, damned pest.

During, I buried myself in paperwork.

After the sun ousted the rain and did a can-can on the rooftops, I had an appointment with one of those sorts of people resembling a consultant. You know - the ones who borrow your watch to tell you the time. Ooh, I dislike paying people whose work is slower than mine. I was in circumstances where it was politic to hide my extreme frustration and mostly I think I succeeded.
