This week, I have mostly been thinking about home insurance...

I got home from work Tuesday to find water dripping through the bedroom ceiling. By 10:30 or so a large chunk of the ceiling came down.
While this is bad news, it could have been a lot worse. Thankfully, we weren't either in the room or out of the house. We were able to retrieve most important things, including my laptop, before the collapse. Also, I had taken out home emergency cover last time I renewed our home insurance - probably the best £35 I've spent in a while. Someone was able to come Wednesday afternoon and make a temporary fix to the roof, before we were hit by another storm that night/Thursday, so it doesn't seem to be letting any more water in.
The bad news is that this ceiling and loft insulation is probably fully of asbestos or other nasties. We probably shouldn't have been handling it as much as we have but, on the other hand, leaving it lying around didn't seem a good idea either... And this is the only proper bed in the house, so we've been sleeping in an airbed on the kitchen floor, which isn't the best for sleeping or cooking.
You may not be seeing much hobby progress for a while I'm afraid.
