Stones still wet

We were warned about snow shortly after reporting the wet stones at reference 1, a Thursday, and the snap above shows how the back garden looked on the Saturday morning following. A reasonably sharp frost, and the thinnest possible scattering of snow. Maybe up on the downs - Epsom Downs or North Downs that is - they got some real snow. But the new stones were still underwater, just visible as a yellow smudge.

There were some ups and downs in the days that followed, but there was enough rain to keep the stones covered the whole time, although the water level does now seem to have dropped and it may be that the stones have finally resurfaced. Hopefully not having moved since their levelling. Another half hour or so and I will get out there to take a closer look.

PS 1: following yesterday's newsflash about OneDrive I finally lost patience this morning and moved the snaps from the last week, from my telephone to my laptop, by hand. The snap above being one of them. I dare say inbound synchronisation will get started again at some point. In the meantime, one more prod in the direction of new telephone. 

PS 2: but nothing doing this morning as it is the turn of Thames Water to misbehave. They seem to think that our water consumption has increased by 50%, with a more than corresponding hike in our bill. While we think that there is something wrong with the meter again, probably a consequence of the fracking noticed at reference 3. I expect a fair chunk of today will be spent either peering down the hole at our water meter or sitting around with my telephone in my ear waiting to get through to an operator at the Thames Water call centre.
