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 Stay indoors and stay dry, Frank - unless you want a loan of my ark?
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! 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...... 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.
went up the allotment ,at the main gate was a pollytunnel frame all bent ,with no cover,5 or 6 black darlecks rolling around not a lid in sight, one shed blown off its base,one shed with its side blown in,a green heavier darleck in the hedge ,not a bean wigwam left standing,all the fruit cages with their netting in tatters,wheel barrows in the hedge ditches,and anything that wasnt tied down now too late and my new strawberris look like they have took ok,now whats that song "lift yourself up dust youself off,no,no im off to the pub a new plan of campaing is needed,funny though all our stuff was ok,mind you iv got my shed tied down to scaffold tubes ,only becouse i couldnt find any tank jacks like Paliasglide usesCheers all Alan4711
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.

Hope everyone else avoids flooding, too.
Hope that you still stay dry 'Posh' Frank I've got trashy daytime tv on
but only as background 'noise' whilst I start the Christmas cards!
Plumber busy removing half our bathroom upstairs!
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.

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!
