Wrecking Rhonda.

So... the past few days have been pretty disastrous. Yesterday I discovered that one of my hard drives was no longer working. It had fallen and hit the floor the previous day but I thought nothing of it. It is gutting because on that hard dive is half of my collection of TV series that I have been collecting for the past five years. We don't watch Australian TV because there are so any adverts and the programmes are pretty bad so I have been collecting UK, American and some Australian TV shows to watch at out leisure without adverts. I have taken it to a computer shop today and now wait with bated breath to see if it can be saved.Driving home from the 'Book Cave' tonight I stalled Rhonda on a steep part of the hill trying to avoid a fallen branch across the drive. Starting her up again I gunned her forward up the hill when there was a loud bang! I reversed slowly down again and tried to attempt the climb again but there was a loud rattling sound. It seems I have broken the drive shaft. Poor Rhonda is now parked down the drive. We are hoping that Roxy will come to the rescue. Hopefully we can cannibalize her drive shaft to replace Rhonda's. Will is pretty confident he can do it.Do these things come in threes? Surely our continued lack of rain would pass for the third disaster. (Our area is now under 'Extreme' water rationing and the town is in danger of running out of water.) Luckily we still have about 12,000 litres in our tanks which should keep us going for awhile. We are no longer using water from the dam and are leaving it for the local wildlife.We really don't need anything else to go wrong at the moment.
