Mark56 so sorry to hear of your awful flooding, a lot of folk dont realise that water does as much damage as fire, in different way. (been in fire not flood) there we all are prayinf for some rain, had a bit this moring, dont know if it was enough to do any good. No storm or anything like that tucked away near South Downs and Eastbourne.
Thank you everyone for your very kind words. The firefighters were down for a few hours this morning and helped to drain quite a lot of it. Lots of products were floating all over and due to be sent out to clients today. However, we're hoping the insurance will pull through and cover us - it's happened once before in July 2007. Onwards and upwards, trying to stay positive and will be finding peace in the garden this evening very therapeutic!
Hi Verdun, a bit of a quandary, how do I write this piece, School boy Latin or French, BAOR German, Makum Takum or Tyke, should I just revert to Viking mixed with Anglo Saxon after being bitten by the Gran-ma police yesterday. How about I say it as it is understood without comment by 99% of the Nation, here goes.
The Sun is shining therefore it must be raining in Cornwall, we have some blue sky some drifting cloud and it is warm, in other words all is well in Stockton on the Tees. The bites received are mending I thought you handled it well though such people do annoy me. An Engineer has to write reports on the hoof getting the job up and running more important than comma's. I would suppose lecturers in English (which version I ask) have more time on their hands.
Hate to annoy you Frank BUT I have a 'thing' about the use of an apostrophe. . . .red pen through the one in "comma's". . . . . . . . ex History teacher who spent years correcting apostrophe misuse.
Joyce, not annoyed, different worlds we live or even lived in. There are those who make repair design fabricate and invent the Industrial area's and those who teach the finesse of the Academic and artistic world, we need both to be a whole person. Once a copper plate writer who got good marks for English at a time the three "R'S" were the vogue, who will ever forget 9x9= 100, then into heavy industry where the math would be far more important than where the comma went. Army for years then more Heavy Chemical Industry, reports written at speed and printed to boot to be legible to all who would need to read them. Copper plate with all the nibs and ink plus punctuation apart from the necessary ones went out of the window. I did keep a Piano and Accordion all these years, not a total stone age man then.
That Joyce is my excuse, "hey" the sun is shining the air is warm and I am off outside to soak it up, gaze upon the garden and plan for next year, what is not to like.

Mark, much sympathy to you and your family. Praying there will be a silver lining for you. Keep safe.
Mark, commiserations. . . hope the flood damage isn't too costly in terms of loss.

Mark: that's awful to hear - hope it can all be remedied without too much stress.

It's very windy in Cheshire. We did have a heavy thunder storms on Turesday but none of the devastating storms they seem to have had further south.
I hope no one's gardens property etc are badly damaged.
