Flooded Back Passage

The Back Passage

2 comments

Ah, the trials of living in a Victorian-era building on a Victorian-era street that took some serious abuse during World War II. Thanks to the Luftwaffe, the drains in my part of Lewisham are less than robust. And, every now and then they block up, back up and flood my back passage.

What fun!

One of a group of photos I shot, while fruitlessly searching for a butterfly, as instructed by a recent Vox Hunt:

Oh, at least, if you're interested in gardening:

Fun with a rake

Bear having a break

For today was the first day we actually got out into the garden to start sorting things out. Lorna did most of the work, frankly. I was engaged in the endless struggle to get my study under control for much of the morning. But out into the garden I eventually went, to do my bit.

I rather like our garden. If you ignore the shuddering traffic noises of the road outside our frnt door, it's a little oasis of calm in the heart of Lewisham. One a day when Lorna was woken by people fighting over parking on a side street, every little oasis of calm you can find is worth having.

Especially with barbecue weather just around the corner…

QotD: Weekend Wrap-up

What was the highlight of this past weekend?

Without question, Saturday night's barbecue.

It's the first time we've really been able to use the back garden for socialising, since we had the pation put in and the boxes built last year. And, given the heat, the garden was the nicest place to be for the early part of the evening.

We cooked stupid amounts of meat, some great kebabs built by Jess, and got quitely drunk while the sun set. In the end, we finally went indoors about 11pm.

A nice way to spend a Saturday evening.
