in never rains but it SNOWS

Things have horrid habits and it's doing one of those again.

Everything tripped out here earlier in the week for which I could find no obvious cause, until yesterday when the water stopped flowing out of the taps.

An investigation revealed nothing obvious (leaks) but it did turn out the pump was not working.

Naturally, I wasn't here but was 50 miles away sorting university stuff with the student.

So anyway, home and some detailed investigations plus a call to the pump companies out of hours line.

Being nice, I agreed they could leave coming out till Monday and we would use the in house sweating and swearing team to lift the pump some time today.

Of course that was before I looked at the weather forecast which was none too good.  And featured things like snow and minus 6 temperature weathers into the week to come. 

Ahh the joys of country life, I can't see anyone being in school or college tomorrow and the student, who has an exam on Tuesday might not be going either.
