The flip side…

Some good did come out of this.
We did get to work from home on the Monday 🙂
Which meant basking in the sun in the office/sunroom while working remotely.

Although we were finally allowed outside – there was work to be done…

(not that I can claim credit for this impressive stack!)

Luckily non-potable water started running through the pipes in the evening so that we could all shower again.

Luckily we had power throughout most of the bizarre experience and so we could stay well abreast of news coverage (and keep the kids entertained with TV!).
