Well....

I reckon I've done a fair job...... :)

Yes....It's a tiny bit of a pain...but in truth not that bad......Not what some folk are going to have to deal with. :( X_X

The road is still 'running'....But it's not over the whole of the tarmac, anymore....So I know I've done a half decent job.

The three 'outside' cobs looked somewhat peed off when I found them....I think they were after their water wings !

Now.....Out, again.....and brush as much of the water that's seeped into the big barn, and send it down the drive, before having 'brunch'.

Cheers - Mr Slowly Drying Out.  ;)

Stroll on....There's a yellow ball in the sky....They weren't lying......apparently.

Apparently parts of South Wales have a Red Warning for heavy rain, with up to 6" falling today :o :o :o. Hope everybody is OK and stays safe.

It's why coracles were invented.

There's a 'coracle centre' on the way to the vets, that we use for the mutts....

Never visited it. :P...Can't even remember the name of the village.

Von's just told me it's Cenarth. :D

Cheers - Phil.

Coracles are awesome, Shrewsbury Town fan Fred Davies used to use one to retrieve balls from the River Severn!

Final job was to replace a top rail on part of the fencing, before the cobs got moved into a field where there's at least some grass.

Not long before the grass starts growing like mad....and we'll be trying to keep the horses from getting too fat !! X_X

The village where there's the coracle centre is, is on the 'red' flood warning list now, as is the little bridge on the way to Von's Mum's  care home.....That's a shame, they only just finished 'repairing' it a few months ago ! =)

I didn't spot a "Dennis the menace" headline on any of the 'national' tabloids.....But one of our local rags couldn't resist the temptation. X_X

Cheers - Phil ;)

Went to the IWM in Manchester yesterday, and got soaked. Mind you I can claim almost £2 back on my train fare cause it broke on its way into Lime st, and was 20 mins late into Victoria !

Just very windy here....I think we're due for the wet stuff this afto'.....Yep....I'm more than bored with it as well.
Really shouldn't complain. There are an awful lot of folk who have had it SO, SO much worse than us.
I can't imagine how I'd feel to have the home flooded.  X_X :(

That doesn't sound too much fun, Ian. Apart from that...did you have a good day ?

OI !

They're making it up as they go along. :o

Am I reading/hearing things correctly.....That the storm, hitting us this weekend/now, is called Jorge...and not Ellen....(Something to do with the Spanish weather folk* naming this one first ??...Eh ??.....Why hasn't it got a Spanish name beginning with E, then ?)
