twobears Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 My husband has a small pump and a moderate length of hose but I managed to get hold of the real whopper from a chap in the village. I haven't read that grey book thingy but my writing seems to have taken a turn for the worse so I'll remove myself to the sitting room immediately. Night, night and let's hope that summer starts tomorrow morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hope you survived the night and the whopper performed as expected My husband has a small pump and a moderate length of hose but I managed to get hold of the real whopper from a chap in the village.

twobears Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks Graham and Hugh. I'm still here and, more importantly, so is my house The whopper hose performed most satisfactorily and we shifted thousands of gallons of water into the field opposite. It took nearly eight hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It is just getting worse and worse the amount of rain that fell last night here was just unbelievable Glad you survived the monsoon Annie if you are planning to build an Ark please let me know as long as having a split personality counts as a pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If it makes you feel any better, we had a massive downpour that caused flash flooding around most of the city, storm water drains couldn't cope, many houses and peoples business premises flooded. That was a mere 2 hour downpour. I guess at least it is winter here and it's almost one of the two wettest months of the year. But on the upside, since we've had a massive high and the weather has been divine!!!! Very cold (we're talking Kiwi cold, so not really very cold ), icy mornings, stunning days.
