Caulking would be welcome
Spaghnum moss with aspirations to be a new bog on the roof is less welcome what with water retention abilities of moss and nogs

Who knows, maybe a build-up of moss is all that ails ours. Incurably the optimist, I am.
It isn’t a constant leak even when it is raining; the damn’ thing is “intermittent”, which is the devil and all to diagnose properly. It has chucked it down more than once this week without any sign of drips on the bathroom floor.
Anyhow, a man is going to Come And Take A Look At It on 24th in the morning, and let us know what he thinks about it. This was the first gap the roofer who did the other half of our roof a couple of years ago can fit us into; they are probably not the cheapest, but they are good, and local, and a long-established firm that the manager has given his life to, so I trust them.

Sympathy & Empathy from Disaster Central
I managed to cremate my pressure-cooker & the lovely Steak & Kidney contents last night, by falling asweep & leaving it on, & then, this morning I fell asweep again, & missed my Drs appointment.
Sigh
Dr 'phoned me, & it turns out that I know more about me than she does, so nottan problem
Heavy rain here this morning, but garage roof behaving itself so far. As you say, it’s not every time it rains…

It appears that the problem with the Missing Shoesies has escalated, & the company is in liquidation ATM. The Post Office have seized all returns/non-deliveries & are holding them pending a resolution . I have had to open a dispute with them with PayPal
Brain is now Officially Frying

Is that the actual maker of the shoes, or the vendor, in liquidation?

The vendor, Fishy
‘Shoetique’ which was the largest stockist of FitFlops & Joseph Seibel shoes & previously an excellent site
Interestingly enuff, an Austrian friend had complained about a very poor choice of FitFlops on the site in August
Clinkards, an excellent shoe shop, have been replying to my emails & are also waiting with bated breath

So you ought at least to be able to get the shoes you want, even if not from the usual place? That is something.

Right. This has gone Too Far.
Now, I am usually aware of what searches, site views and so on have caused particular advertisements to appear when I am looking at other sites. Occasionally the algorithms put two and two together and come up with an irrational number, but as a rule it broadly makes sense.
What has thoroughly spooked me is an advertisement today featuring an item which was once one of my chief objects of desire but which I had not thought about for several years. Until about 24 hours ago. I have done no searches or visited any sites selling such things. Urrk!
Pointless of it anyway; I couldn’t afford /justify one then and I can’t now. So I do get the last laugh (a slighly puzzled one, to be sure)

Oh dear, I hope you’re not going to suffer pangs of deprivation now you’ve been reminded of your unaffordable desirable object.
Anyway, at least your object is desirable - I have no idea why Amazon recently decided that what I want most in the world is a pair of those thingies for gluing down sticky-out ears. I was most offended!

No pangs, I assure you;-) And the sheer cheek of Amazon. Occasionally their recommendations do go a bit skew-wiff (how the hell does one spell that?). Can’t remember what they were trying to flog me recently but they were laughably off-beam.
Oh yes, Home gym equipment. Feck off.

Amazon are really really looking for trouble trying to sell a limpet home gym stuff

Sounds like a semi-blocked gutter which overflows when there’s simply too much to cope with.
Obviously could be very wrong, but it’s a thought.

Nooooo. Foiled, and fooled, AGAIN.
I was proclaiming proudly the other day that the Oaf does not eat Human Food.
Tonight he is not eating his perfectly good and rather expensive, cat food but was pestering me for what i was eating. Eventually, exasperated beyond measure, I put my bowl down for him to establish for himself that it was Stinky Horrible Fodder for Uprights. He horsed straight into it. and persevered
It was a rather highly spiced mince and potato curry, with some cabbage on top. I givvup.

We don’t have any gutters up on the roof ridge, or it would have been my first thought too.

Fair point, but not necessarily a no-go if there is anyway the water could sneak in and stand but then get overwhelmed (lead-flashing joins for example) , but yes … complicated matters a bit.
