    Also throwing it down here in North Yorks, with rivers rising steadily and roads turning into rivers. There were flood signs on the road that I used this morning - just before an area that was dry image Stay indoors and stay dry, Frank - unless you want a loan of my ark?

    Hope everyone else avoids flooding, too.

    Hope that you still stay dry 'Posh' Frank I've got trashy daytime tv on image but only as background 'noise' whilst I start the Christmas cards!

    Plumber busy removing half our bathroom upstairs! image

    It's not actually raining out there at the mo, but we may get more later. About 6C now. J.

    How did you fair in Cornwall, Verdun?

    We are beginning to dry out here, well it's sunny at the moment. Oh says roads and wood are only for paddling.

    Alina, had no choice but to stay in, I had a house full of visitors who ate all my cold beef and ham (whats for tea now then), they made their way through the floods to see if all was well with me and just left.
    It is cold wet and miserable out there but Jo, nothing would make me watch daytime TV, when I am finished on here it will be killer Sudoku then a book. And why do we always get big jobs done in the worst weather I ask, best of luck Jo.

    It's raining here now Frank. Supposed to be dry by tomorrow morning, hope so as need to walk down to the hospital again.

    Plumber finished for today- we have a new bath in the hall! image Plasterer going in/out via back door, but I didnt get chance to put down more dust sheets on the stairs & dripping with plaster bucket & trowel......image I did ask too.

    Traditional rice pudding for OH cooking in the oven. Smells good. J.

  • I have built 2 Arks could maybe do with another,  back garden under water well the grass is,  the front garden under the window is the same and still it rains with no respite in sight,   there's a beck near me that's normally dry but the Council where there this morning with a JCB,  have took the fencing down around it and closed the footpath so they're obviously digging it out just in case,  it's quite deep about 8 feet below ground level but with all the rain it must have started running again with a vengeance,  fortunately the house's nearby are in no immediate danger of being flooded.

    I hope that your visitors brought you a cake in recompense, Frank!

    Still chucking it down here, but a promise of dryer weather tomorrow. Stay dry and safe, everyone!

    Jo, when they did my bathroom I moved out to Daughters, as good as a ten star hotel although I had to do some of the cooking. They would not let me see how it was going as it was a mess and they know me and mess, the day they took me back it was gleaming, did have a tear in my eye for what they had done. The whole house.
    Alina, they thought I would have made cake yesterday so no.
    Alan4711, when you have lived in tents on Luneburg you know how to tie things down and those ground anchors got many uses they were not meant for, Siberia is a health farm compared with Luneburg.
    It is still pouring and getting even colder in Stockton, the local paper tonight has pictures and I am glad I live on the hill.

    Frank.
