Dark Days

:: Part of my "I Myself Me" Self Portrait Collection::

and today's mystery object



its been a terrible 24hrs
I returned home last night after a few days working in London to find water pouring through the kitchen ceiling,
the power all fused and a rather expensive and unique cut glass chandelier
had detached off the ceiling and crashed through a glass topped table.
– and to make it so easy to sort everything out ....it was rather dark, and I was on my own..

So I spent half the night cutting through floorboards to find the leak and then trying to solder pipe work
with a torch (flashlight)in my mouth, a blow torch in one hand and solder in my other whilst lying in pools of water...
I’m still just clearing things up this morning….


other sizes: small medium original auto

Hoping things are almost 'normal' now. But despite all this, you can still nail an awesome SP and join the photo party in Exeter!

Poor Ian, no wonder you look so tired in this. What a dreadful nightmare to endure.

There's probably nothing worse that water woes that happen while one is away.
Hope you get this all sorted out soon. Your "look" is perfect under the circumstances.

It's a fantastic SP - all the more so with your home situation - hope your soldering skills did the job!!
