Taint! a very good morning folks, we have drainage ditch running at the back of the Bungalow that is full to the brim and lapping the bottom of the fence, both ends of are road are flooded, but can get out if we take the scenic route, there is a very slight incline in the road sadly to say the ditch has over flowed into their back gardens and out through the garages, the very end house is completely swamped at the moment we are still dry. fingers crossed and every thing as well. So far we are extremely lucky compared with others. Not so good for others who have been flooded three or more times before. We pray for their safety and if some of us who are lucky not to be in their situation and can offer some sort of help please do. And our sincere thanks go out to all the Troops and Firemen who have been working all hours. Rev. |

LOL Every year the MOT came around I had to fettle the handbrake and I rarely used it, Tony described it well when he said the Rover 75 are great cars but have handbrakes made of dried toast

Managed a late afternoon walk as the rain has subsided, I’m sure it will return shortly though.

It certainly is, apart from when you almost scald the back of your head off removing the radiator cap on a hot bus. The can of worms that followed afterwards you couldn’t make up, too long a story to type

Entirely my own fault Andy, but I’m fine, was in agony for the journey back from Kielder to Newcastle, good job the coach was auto. One hand on the wheel, the other holding a soaked cloth on the back of my head trying to cool it. Stupid sensor over reacting telling me the level was low when it was fine.

Flooded
Decided to take MG to work today as just had Rover washed and road was so badly flooded all the cars including 4 x 4s were turning back. I couldn't afford to be late so drove through very slowly, water up to the doors, car didn't seem to want to go after I got through, but after a while in 2nd gear seemed to recover and made it. So my 42 year old car got through when all the others turned back.

In more than one sense of the word “pain”. Ended up being spoken to by paramedics on the phone, because I had forgotten to run my Bluetooth hands free off and had inadvertently rang Fiona about 10 mins after ringing her to tell her what happened and because she could hear strange noises, she panicked and thought I was struggling to breathe and had passed out then called the paramedics who then called me. As it happened I had stopped to put more cold water on when they rang, she was on the phone for about 15 mins, all this time my phone battery was dying. They said they would call at a certain time by which time I would be home. When they did call back, because I had got a few drops of antifreeze water in my mouth, not swallowed any, but it splashed into my mouth, I was told very firmly to go straight to A and E. Thinking it was a fuss over nowt I still did as I was told. Expecting to be there all night, I was surprised to find the department fairly quiet. Sat down expecting to be there for a while and a nurse called me in to a room, asked why I was there, took my bp and temperature, went to speak to a consultant and said as long as you didn’t swallow any, you can just go. Result!
