Phoned the housing association/property management company again this morning.  The guy said they're now treating the leak as a priority as it could get into the electrics which is a health and safety issue.  He tried to call the maintenance contractors but couldn't get a response.  He then said he'd pass the case over to his supervisor who should contact me before the end of the day.  I asked them to call on my mobile and went out.  I didn't hear anything.  When I got home this evening I turned the bathroom light on and it blew immediately taking the rest of the lighting ring with it.  Although the bathroom light blows fairly often (the only way to turn on the extractor fan is to turn on the light so I have to leave the light on when I'm drying laundry etc.) it doesn't normally blow the circuit breaker.  I don't think this is a coincidence.  My parents seem to think that the water could be coming from the flat above mine.  Apparently there are no curtains in the windows and when I thought about it I haven't heard any movement from up there in ages.  I guess a pipe might have burst or a tap might have been left on or something similar.  I guess I'll be phoning the housing association again tomorrow...

Now, just to add insult to injury, my TV reception has gone to pieces.  It started going on Tuesday but I thought it was just because it was foggy.  As of today I can't get a digital signal at all and the analogue signal is really fuzzy.  I suspect that water has got into the communal ariel (or the cables connecting my flat to it) but I'm going to borrow an indoor ariel to check it.  In the meantime I'm missing precious episodes of Greek.  I'm series recording it from E4 during the day and we're getting to the bit where Cappie and Casey might be getting back together.  Not a good time to start missing chunks :(

In more positive news I saw a pretty good amateur production of Rudigore this evening.  I know that it's really uncool to admit to liking Gilbert and Sullivan but I genuinely find their plays a low effort and uplifting way to spend a few hours.
