Well shit. I very much take your point about not being on fire, but even so - I hope your lot in the southern half of the globe stay safe, and I also hope your landlord gets this sorted asap :-\ (and I'm sure you would have mentioned it, so I hope I'm safe in saying thank goodness the wet didn't get into your books and papers). Ah, brings back fond memories (not) of the tiny house low down near the river I lived in when I was at uni, and the Ancient-Mariner-style denizens thereof :-s ... Here's to landlord leaping rapidly into action! And to people and their stuff staying dry where there is damp - and also un-singed, over there where there is governmental dereliction and too much dry :-\
