Boing!
Snow! Snow that settled for my birthday! Eeeeee! (okay, not too much, but it's *white* out there!
Oh, and flooding right across the flood plain, but that's been on since the weekend - the Thames is a mile or so's walk from here, and it goes floodplain, which idiots built on, hill. Seriously. Rises straight upon a very steep hill only fools try to cycle up. They usually get halfway up and fail. They reckon it's surpassed the marker down at Mapledurham Lock which records the height of the river aduring the last great floods - 1947 and one in the 1800s. Christ, if the water's right up to the beginning of the floodplain, then it's definitely bad. The most it went up to during the last big session of flooding Britain went up to was just the fields, which not even nutter builders will try for.
BTW, thankyou everyone who wished me happy birthday...
