I just found a snail on my television! Eughhh. I opened the fridge this afternoon and a bluebottle flew out!!! (This was at work, I hasten to add, not at home.) Welcome back, Mort!   Hope you're feeling better (how could you not be, with Daniel Craig doing his Ursula Andress pose?  ). |

Daniel Craig doing his Ursula Andress pose In the interests of gender equality I think it is only fair if we had, as a companion piece, Ursula Andress doing her Daniel Craig pose.  Golly gosh! The woman who very kindly provided my entire generation of schoolboys with their first experience of involuntary, um.... Not a dry seat in the house. |

Is his name "Brian", by any chance? |

Well above water thanks.
If you'll pardon the Schadenfreude, it's nice to be having better weather than the South for a change!

Glorious sunshine here once more. We haven't had any flooding yet in this part of Millyland although we've had much more than the average rainfall. Lucky! I was reading this morning about 10,000 people stranded overnight on the motorway and a baby born in a caravan whilst waiting in a queue.  Lots of holidaymakers have descended upon us so news of the nice weather must have got around quite quickly today. |

It (the heavy rain) all starts again on Wednesday......... according to the BBC weather-man on Country File this morning. Referring to my message on page 1, my long narrow channel/ditch from top of my garden to the bottom (to the patio-drain) really worked! Long after (24 hrs) the rain stopped there was a steady stream still flowing down to the patio, taking water away from the 'level' area at the top where the shed precariously sits (on concrete slabs and fenceposts lying across - Homebase advice). This ditch has taken much water from the lawn and prevented mud flowing into the (deliberately created) pond on the other side. While clearing mud away from the slabs under the shed I found that it wasn't just frogs who sheltered in the gap made by the horizontal fence posts. Some mammal(s) had collected a lot of moss and bits of paper and made a habitat. I'm afraid I had to clear all that out to prevent the floor of the shed becoming damp, so apologies to Harry the Hedgehog who we often see scurrying about at night. Well, I think it's his home, I did notice what looked like bird skeletons amongst the moss and paper so I'm not really sure We are about half a mile from a tributary of the River Avon, four miles from the Avon, and I think at least 100ft higher. A river does run down our street during thunderstorms but ends up in a supermarket carpark a few hundred yards away where the drains are good, so far. John W |

My son who works in Slough (no, he's not David Brent) said there were six inches of water in the car park where he works on Friday, but it drained away fairly quickly. Water was also coming out of the air conditioning units, outside, luckily.
I've been looking at Tewkesbury and Evesham on News 24 - crikey.

Sunshine here now - we're about 1/2 mile from a canal so should be safe from floods.
