Water, Water everywhere, nor any drop to drink

So it's been a quiet week on The Electric Wand, largely because of the fact that I woke up the other day and looked out of the front of my house to see...

leaving the entire downstairs floor soaked in water, and the footwells of one of the cars with a nice puddle too :(

Bizarrely, 24 hours later, the view over the fence was...

and practically ALL the water had drained away. Now it's time to stop thinking about technology, and start shopping for new carpets...
