A Bug's Life

Now it's a lake. An impressively wide lake. Last night it was 40m from the back door, this morning it was 15m from the back door. There is a shallow incline up to the house, but another 6 inches and it'll get in the back door. (Another 3 feet and it'll lap around the live_gerbils.)

We're off to Manchester this weekend, so we spent a busy half hour taking things upstairs and moving books from the bottom shelves onto table tops. I think major_clanger will be phoning the neighbours fairly frequently while we're away to check on the Lake's Progress!

(purplecthulhu, purpletigron, and G visited on New Year's Day and we went for a walk around Godmanchester. The river there had burst its banks and we were in awe of the amount of water covering the field. And now our garden nearly looks like that!)
