Monday is here again, which means back to work for most of us.

Has it rained yet where you are? What's happening this week?

Loads of rain, much needed. I was a bit worried about flooding though but everything was fine.

Busy week of work, prepping for presentations and trying to keep the veggie plants at the allotment alive. It's not going well this year!

Same this end, it's been bucketing doon for the last couple of days. The backdoor has this bit that's like a fucking quagmire and I'm not too sure how to deal with it. Love mopping up floor every time the dog is let out the back.

We put a big towel down on the porch floor and make our dog walk over it a few times to clean his paws.

That's actually a great shout, cheers!

That's a good idea, we do something similar!

Is the rain seeping through the door? We have a similar issue with our backdoor, but haven't worked out if it's a door, doorframe or a something else issue.

Thankfully not - I think it's just an issue in the way the garden is sloped - drainage hasn't been thought out very well. It's a housing association house that was built in 2009 so it's kinda mind bogling that it wasn't really planned for.
