Flood Barrier — The Geeza vs The Next Monsoon

Right then, the veranda flood barrier is finally bloody finished! Mother Nature kept trying to turn the place into a mud spa, and I’m fairly sure we never booked that treatment.

Out came the blocks, sand, cement and a vocabulary you won’t find in the instruction manual. A bit of mixing, a bit of pointing, then the fiddly mortar work round the posts. Three stages later, the little barrier’s all joined up and the job’s done.

It’s there to help keep rainwater and mud off our veranda. Nothing glamorous — just using what we’ve got and getting stuck in. The next proper downpour can provide the review. Preferably without bringing half the bloody garden with it.

Right then, next monsoon, on your bike! Oi oi!

And remind me again, why do Only Fools and Horses work?

JOB DONE! 😁
