More Rain and Leaking Roof

Last night was rainy and cold so we had our first fire at the new house.  The fireplace works great and keeps us pretty warm.  There's nothing wrong with old fashioned fireplaces. The rain is still with us and I have been up on the roof fixing leaks.  I just hope that all the effort has stopped the leaky roof.  With a bit of luck we won't have to trip over pots and buckets.

The river has turned back into coffee and is flowing speedily along.  The water is deep opposite us and so swimming is not a good idea at the moment.  The water will be nice and clear in the winter but then, swimming would not be a good idea either.

The telephone collection is really looking good and most of the collection is set up in my office.  The little electronic exchange is working fine.  Liz has a nice little "old timey" telephone next to the bed which she is enjoying.  I reckon I should put the payphone in the guest room, he he!  The next project phone wise will be to install a phone in the workshop.  This means digging a trench from the house to the garage and laying a cable.  A nice big job to be sure.

The middle "black box" is the PABX. It has eight extensions
and two incoming line ports. We only use one incoming line.
