My goodness! How long will it be before the water drains? Does this happen often? You're taking it very well!

And the poor flooded car! What will happen with it? The electrics cannot possibly be reliable after a complete soaking...what will you do?

I'm glad you're putting a good face on it--I do hope **something** pleasant happens, too. You have admirable good humor!

Oh it has been over five hours since I took that picture and the water HAS drained out! I am relieved and about to set out ... Sunday chores!!

The car has some random warning signals flashing on the dashboard .. like the little "door is open" icon...when all four doors are tightly and securely shut! I now need to figure out how to get the repairs done!

As for the 'good humour' bit... Thank you so much!! My take on it is...what cannot be cured, must be endured.. so may as well endure it with a smile... itsalouwelylife after all!! :D

oh, what an update, with a photo too! thank goodness the water has drained off at last...hope you are able to get your weekend chores done now!

I think you could change your name to itsalouwelylaugh, because that's what you do under adverse circumstances.

Romba Tanks deponti ! Yesss! The work's all done...! Between 2:00 and 4:30 in the afternoon! That leaves me enough time to catch up on some more official stuff that needs to be polished before presentation (yes..the same one that I told you about!)

It looks like rain again!

The car HAS a problem...The automatic locking system is malfunctioning. The "door open" icon keeps flashing continuously. My guess is that water, when it enetered the car, caused something to short circuit and that same thing set off the Security alarm, and its the same thing that has spoilt the auto locking system! The Service guys want me to bring the car in tomorrow! Well, I have transport troubles now...Let's just hope those are shortlived!!

Ah yes...the name...life.. laugh... not much difference, is there?

Thanx for the pic. Haven't yet seen a pic of the car. Looks like your spending on the collegues has changed to spending on the repairs... and you can always argue that it's not a new car anymore... :-)

HEY!! Good to hear from you! Looks like Italy has also brought some time with it!

Heh! Yeah right, only, I guess the dinner with colleagues may not have been half as expensive as the repairs!! I shall try the argument, though!

And the picture of the car...Well, soon soon... keep watching this space!

Much love and hugggs!!
