I was sitting at my computer just about to comment on Sam’s image, when suddenly several of the beams in the ceiling came crashing down on to the dining room table, barely missing me and my computer and my glasses. My tea went all over the place. Luckily I had caught some movement on the ceiling out of the corner of my eye and pushed my chair back and covered my head. The beams are made of fiberglass or something light, but still… they were coming down a pretty long way. We now have wires hanging and lights broken and beams all over.

I had heard some odd noises the other day, and told my husband they sounded structural. I guess they were.
