Parents & the rain arrive

We have had another quiet few days with not much going on.
Yesterday I travelled up to Atlanta to pick up mum & dad from the airport. After an accident (not involving me) on the Interstate I arrived an hour late and bursting for the loo only to find their flight had not arrived yet. It was due in at 2.20pm and I arrived around 4pm, I finally met up with them at around 6.30pm after they had been diverted to Charlotte to refuel. Due to their delay it did mean we missed all the really bad weather yesterday when we drove back to Montgomery, however....
we had plenty of rain today, over 7 inches fell this morning. Luckily we were at home and were able to bail out the sun room otherwise the family room and our bedroom would have flooded too.
I had to drain the swimming pool 3 times and we emptied many many buckets of water ( I lost count after 10 but it must be somewhere in the region of 20 bucketfuls) out of the sunroom, braving thunder & lightning to do so. All very tiresome. Now I just want a sleep.

Tom having fun last weekend when the weather was nice.
