Six or seven years ago every roof in one town was destroyed and, because it was mostly older houses with a specific kind of terracotta tiles, I'm not sure they're even all fixed yet. Also many industrial greenhouses went out of business, and streets flooded across the region because ice blocked the drains, and there was a boom in companies repairing hail damage to car roofs that is only just subsiding.

People do it on my behalf and keep sending me ridiculous documents to fill in and telling me I'm doing it wrong. We have to put it all in ourselves, then wait for the supplier to be approved. Making orders is such a pain and there are so many unnecessary steps. I hated it from the get go.

It started while we were in the supermarket, so it was fine when we went in and the apocalypse when we came out.
