Broken down truck

 Eddie had more excitement than he needed on Friday. He was tipping off some metal on a site, which was soft. Only the left side of the bin emptied, so the right side tipped slightly in the soft soil. He quickly put the hoist down, but the whole thing collapsed (probably due to the imbalance on the tray) and the tray landed on the deck of the truck with an almighty crash. ( as you can imagine).  He had just taken his seatbelt off to get out. When it crashed down he went up and hit his head on the roof of the truck; his left arm was stretched out on the controls, so that shoulder was badly jarred; his right elbow hit the arm rest and now is sporting a huge bruise. When he came down he banged his right hip on the engine hump. His boss brought him home and he has been very quiet and resting since. He will probably go back to work on Thursday depending how he is feeling. He is feeling a lot better today. The weather has been quite wet, so there may not be any work tomorrow anyway.

On Monday night, at about 9: 30, our neighbours knocked on our door and said there was a huge water leak. It was like a water feature, with water rising up like a small fountain. They had tried Louise, but the office phone isn’t close to her bedroom and there is a fire door between the two. Eddie rang Mike and he came down and turned off the water for the night. It is almost on the same spot as one Eddie had to repair when we were working here. The plumber came and finished the job on Tuesday. It is all good now.

It's a nicer day today than yesterday and there is still flooding further south. I think there are roads still closed with flood waters.
