Maybe this would be of some use Mort?  Went to Tonbridge today and got completely drenched just putting some money in a carpark payment machine. Later I parked in about 3 inches of water and my shoes became soaked.... it just kinda got worse!!  A |

The problem is we are surrounded by three rivers, and the one which here has burst (so far as yet only at the bottom of the hill) runs into the main river which is incredibly high so our river can’t run into it and slowly backs up until the water stops moving, then the inevitable happens. Except for the cottages by the side of the river there are no other buildings on its banks, just the water meadows. As that’s why they are called water meadows!! Looking at the river during the day and when I came home it’s rising so fast so I cannot see the flood receding, only becoming worse, and the problem is, when it goes, the road will be under a thick layer of silt so will remain closed until the Council clean it up. Chucking it down with rain again.  I might need th |

Oops, think Anty's been submerged there! Yes, Mort, why is it that London bus drivers don't like stopping even when you ring the bell? It's not as if they've got anything else to do other than driving the bus, is it??? |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

It's not as if they've got anything else to do other than driving the bus, is it??? They`re probably concentrating intently on getting to the next Request stop so they can then ignore the poor devil who wants to get on the bus!  A driver once accelerated past me, laughing and giving me the`V` sign. Barsteward!! |

That reminds me of one of the very many nice things about living in the USA: at least where I was, the postman not only delivers your post, but will pick up outgoing post too, if it's stamped. Cool.  |

Guess what? Yes it is. It's raining. Good morning everyone. Not a good day to look forward to in Millyland. Child has to go to the dentist for an extraction this morning and I have a hospital appointment for my 3-monthly migraine treatment which entails a lot of small injections in my head. Not really painful exactly but not the most comfortable of situations. Tomorrow looks good - but that's another day.  |
