Day 4.153: The end of the holidays

It's been raining a lot recently - which is great if you've got a new pair of rain-boots, but less good if you have blocked and overflowing gutters.

I've been meaning to do something about them, but the concern over what to do at the power-line gutter intersection and the crazy busy season means that I have failed. So, we decided it was time to pay someone else to do it. He came over midweek to look at that job and another bit of more-involved maintenance work. His condition for doing the gutters (along with a fee of course) was the removal of our holiday lights. Not unreasonable in June I suppose.

So, this afternoon - while we were enjoying a dry spell I did just that with Exile #2's help.

And so Christmas has finally left the building for a few months and now we can get back to the birthday season.
