Water!

The river is in flood - again!

It's now such a common occurence it's quite dull, unless of course you were one of the poor souls who left their car in Frankwell carpark while they went Christmas shopping and came back to find it under 4ft of water. The flood also backs up the drains - and as some of them are medievil - it makes the whole town stink, and some of those smells are of a medievil nature themselves.

Torrential rain is also not the best when you have an office with a 16th century leaded stained glass window - it leaks, obviously. So as well as being cold, I'm damp.

Its very easy to get cabin fever when you live in the country and can't go outdoors. All this fizzing, useless energy which is impossible to channel into anything sensible or productive. I'm looking at holiday websites! It helps a bit.

I have thought of nothing but you all day - and you have not mentioned me once. That can't be right can it? At least it is water and not lava - water is slightly unpleasent but lava sets everything on fire and kills everything in its path. So thank heaven for small mercies!

mutley - you tell lies! And you are right it is better than lava.
