The rain it raineth all day long
Not in the office this week and so, of course, it's bucketing it down. Not to worry I have many indoor pursuits planned ('The Day the Earth Stood Still' is on later!).
Of course, rain means it's time to inspect the water level in my 'Butty and Shanks rain-master 8000' water butt. When I installed it I was was optimistic of getting an inch or two. Given recent weather conditions, I'm now worried I didn't fit an overflow for it.
Maybe it's the male love of gadgets but I'm obsessed with the thing. I am now wondering how I can fit some sort of water gauge to it to see the level of water inside.
Obviously one can do this in seconds by tapping the side of the barrel - 'thum' means full, tap further up until it does 'thim' and that means it's empty at that level.
Or...I could get myself a web-cam, connect it to a weatherproofed OSB lead and run it to the house...meaning I could check it whenever and wherever I wanted.
Wonder how many hits 'butt-cam' would get?

My guess would be that you'd get approximately 12-17 hits total..half being from you, of course, when you incessantly check to make sure that it's "working".
It's not fair that you don't have to work all week---
It was pouring here, too, and I think it's another day of rain today. I think the rain in combination with the perfect mix of hormones and a general distrust for the male species drove me into a full-blown spiral of insanity last night. I just can't help but overanalyze every single thing---his "plans" change daily, and while I'd understand if I were there, I don't because I'm not. The new story is that he, his roommate and the twit he's recently started dating are all staying in the beachhouse together...didn't know she was going to the wedding at all, and now she's staying until Wednesday!!! What the hell?? I was told repeatedly that it was guys only! It makes me feel like he doesn't want me there (obviously I'm not making a good case for myself when i go nuts) and the fact that he acts like I'm ruining his vacation makes me even more upset! He said that I was completely wrong about the whole thing and that he didn't understand why i was so upset. Then he didn't answer my phone call or respond to my text message (ok, so i sent 5 messages). I think I also may have said that we were officially over. Ooops...
Oh well...I have decided that i will not talk to him for the rest of the week.
