It hasn't rained for nearly a week

In the continuing saga of the leaking roof, the last observed leak was last time it rained, last Wednesday. The day after that I had a call from the office asking if it was fixed, and called them back on Friday to establish that -- given that the last mending attempt had been on Tuesday -- it wasn't. A couple of days ago I noticed that the damp-stains on the ceiling had gone, as if painted over; then this evening I came home to yet another answering-machine message from the office, claiming that the fixers of rooves claimed it "wasn't leaking." I hope that means that they actually tested it with a bucket or a hose or something and nothing came through, rather than just observing that it wasn't raining indoors on a sunny day, but I don't think I'll be taking away the buckets and towels until after the next storm.
