I got to meet my new neighbour this morning, at 6 o'clock.
There I was, sleeping in my bed aiming high for that sleep-in I missed yesterday, but the rain woke me up. At least it sounded like rain going down the drain outside my window. Though there was another noise….
Kind of like a smoke alarm, but a constant beep. Like someone had turned the tap on REALLY hard, and the pipes were doing that high-pitched noise they do…
WAIT!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It couldn't be, could it?
I got up out of bed, stumbling around the house in the dark, trying to locate the source of the noise, finally looking out the back door at this…
I met the neighbour, because this time the pipe had burst in front of their house, but since I'm such a dab hand now at this Sydney Water tomfoolery, I was able to inform them the firies were on the way to save the day – again.
Damage to my property today will be plants and stuff in my back shed, and the chook coop looks a little worse for wear.
FARK!
