    nitazoxanide, is an anti protozoal that can be used for Crytopsporidium.

    Been a hellish day here, a lot of the garden has been swept away, Summerhouse is flooded and next doors cellar has got several feet in it.
    We were getting ready to evacuate, but I told Moira I wouldn't go, so she decided to stay too, even though I told her to go to her friends.
    We still have a lot more rain forecast, so not sure what will happen.

    Oh dear, that does not sound good @punkdoc, hope the rain eases for you and your neighbours before too much damage is done.
    Glad to hear that Dove and Rob are safe and dry and that the car is ok when seen tomorrow.
    The weather reports have been awful and I believe it is supposed to move Southwards tomorrow, but thankfully looks as though the worst of it will miss us. At least, being some 800 - 900 feet up we dont flood, but wind is always our enemy.

    Oh that’s an unexpected lot of news from some of you. We still haven’t had any rain here.  I hope everyone is ok.

    @Pat E Eucalipti were imported in large numbers in Italy to be planted in the swampy areas south of Rome in the 30s. It was thank to them that a malarial swamp became prime agricultural land. 
    This is a book about their story and of those who planted them, one of the most beautiful read I ever had. Thoroughly reccommend:

    Morning folks. Just popping in,it's been ages. So sorry to hear about the weather situation Punkdoc, I must admit when we moved here top of a slight hill opposite the South Downs, low flood risk, but its windy. Hope everyone else is ok. Hubby and I a couple of weeks after getting a puppy, which was lovely.... Covid which WASN'T, 2 weeks! Anyway, I am 37 tomorrow, being 27, today. Nothing special planned, still too delicate,weak, can't tast or smell!

  • Hope you and your Son are OK @Dovefromabove  Hope you and Moira are safe @punkdoc Hopefully everyone else on here stayed safe too.

    Storm Babet claimed 2 lives on this island.  It is now just a bad memory here.  I'm leaving now for the nursing home to see my Father (nothing untoward, just a regular vist).

    Good morning,
    Oh my goodness, @puncdoc, that’s not good. I hope the rain eases off so that the floodwaters ease, too. It’s been a dreadful storm, affecting so many. It’s eased off here, for now, thankfully. Areas around and about us have suffered much more - parts of Rotherham, Barnsley and Sheffield.
    Gorgeous photo @Nanny Beach. I hope you have a nice relaxing day tomorrow 🎂.
