Some great clouds around tonight and the sky behind me when I took this shot was black.  Thought I was going to get wet but didn't  

A bit of progress today ... my lovely neighbour came over to help me remove the rest of the carpet which was hard because of the bed.  We managed it.  Then a guy I know from the village came around to have a look at the pipes and to see if it was a job he would be able to do.  After spending a couple of hours digging and doing a temporary repair to a broken one he is going to take the job on which I am pleased about.  So hopefully in a couple of weeks all will be sorted!
