I had planned on sleeping in this Sunday.
However, after less than three hours of sleep I was woken up by a very loud ticking coming from my other room. When I investigated I found out it was leaking. Not next to the window, where it occasionally leaks when it's raining really hard or if the wind is from a certain direction, but in the middle of the room. Only several inches from my desk (where my computer stands).
I was lucky, I guess. There was a stack of cardboard boxes there that had accumulated over the last couple of month and it was dripping right on a flap, which made the noise. It's dry now and the leaking seems to have stopped. But more rain is coming, so no more sleep for me. I can't go into the attic, because the lightbulb is broken and I don't fancy searching by flashlight.
Hopefully it's an easy thing to fix; a window that's been blown open in the hard wind last night or a tile that's shifted. When it's light enough I'll go upstairs and see if I can locate the leak and put a bucket underneath it. (But knowing my luck it'll be something not easily fixed) My father and sister have planned a trip tomorrow, to Ikea and for my sister to practice driving the car. I hope they'll be back in time for my father to check out the problem. On Monday it's going to rain a lot, so hopefully some solution is found.
I did get something done in the past hour of waiting for the rain to start again. I finally cleared the pile of boxes, divided them into a pile of small boxes, cardboard and paper that I can throw away in the recycle bin and a pile of bigger boxes that can go to one of our suppliers.
