bringing the roof down

so we've had quite an exciting weekend. exciting in the sense that our little flat is falling apart. i spent much of yesterday scrubbing and cleaning the place (including the shower) and in the afternoon Becca and I heard a crash and went in to the bathroom, expecting to see the cabinet fallen on the floor (as we have done before). when we saw that it was still secured to the wall we thought, well phew, obviously a noise outside. spoke too soon really.... turned around and there in the bottom of the shower was more debris than most skips get hold of. and there above it all, looking down sheepishly, was a massive hole in the ceiling! suffice to say we are now without shower, and not just for the two of us, but for our friends Adrian and Rosie coming to stay for a week too! i feel i should point out that these poor folk are stepping off a long-haul, 21hour-plus flight from sydney, so are going to be just thrilled to find that they're going to have to join us over the bathroom sink (probably not at the same time) with a washer (flannel if you're english, wash cloth if you're american)!
join us in bringing the roof down.
the photos show just what we're talking about, plus Becca looking longingly at the shower!
