Yep,

Lots of localised flooding around the Broads the last few weeks.
It's a shame to see and worrying for people living in those areas.

Roll on Saturday
Should be arriving at Great Yarmouth Yacht Station between 14-00 to 15-00hrs on Saturday if anyone want to wave us off

Saturdays have been hectic of late but if I get the chance, I'll give you a wave!

If you do and you want to pop on board . It might involve a ladder with the low tide height

I should be Phil.

I'll be doing a mixture of 'live' Facebook and footage to edit and publish later

As you know, you have quite a following on Facebook and on camera club, so your fans will be entertained and enthralled.

Today I am meeting up with the surgeon to get the all clear and hopefully we will be driving back to Bristol Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to catching up via your YouTube channel. I have always thought you should add a drone to follow Lady Emma and yourself

Good luck with getting signed off. Your progress has been really good so I'm sure you will get to go home on Saturday.

I have looked at drones but the ones with the sort of quality I would want are a lot of money. Money which is better spent on camera gear that provides an income to the business rather than for a bit of fun.
Never say never though

The rain has turned into fine drizzle, I've only been out to the wheelie bin & close the driveway gates & I'm soaked through .
The young Sparrowhawk is back circling the trees near the bird feeders, It's far to quick to get a decent pic of it.
I'm making some stove top bread in a pan to see how it differs from oven cooked bread, It'll be soup dipping bread whatever it looks like

Thank you Jeff, that’s quite understandable about the cost and quality of the drones. I have been on the lookout for an underwater R/C drone with lights and they are available but at a prohibitive cost for someone like myself. I was going to buy one as a thank you gift for someone else who said he would like to see his collection of Koi fish underwater in the pond at the house in South Africa. Earlier on this year he was instrumental in saving the house from being burnt down in a wild fire.

Can we ever have enough cameras?

Thank you for your good wishes, I should be okay. As a follower we are grateful for what ever you can post up on the day

The novelty of being "home alone" has worn off! Yeah, got the girls with me but can't exactly have a conversation with them. Ging is on a two day ferry journey so can't even message her. Phone calls are out, discovered last time she went over that she got landed with a HUGE phone bill, even using a locally bought pre-paid phone card.

Got a last of stuff I'm supposed to get done in the garden but can't go outside, peeing down, hasn't stopped raining since I got back from Manchester last Friday.

Wondering about dinner, big pack of chicken breasts in the freezer, tikka masala sauce in the cupboard but not sure if I want to make a bucket of curry, need to "pace" myself with it or I'd pretty soon be sick of it.
