I've been idly wondering what extravagant pledges electioneering politicians are going to amuse us with next. They are getting positively creative.

I'm trying to work out what the blazes is being slipped into their coffee...

I demand the promise of at least one unicorn at the bottom of my garden before I give my vote to any political party!!

I just want some of whatever it is they're all taking...

If not, I'd really prefer a dragon to a unicorn, and while they're at it, can they also please give me a Reynard 90D, a Van Diemen RF86 and a Jaguar JXR-14... And a lifetime's supply of chocolate.

I'm assuming from your statement that it was vaguely dried out in between and re-flooded? Are you affected?

The flooded area was drained by the council (some local councillors live in our village). I wonder if they’ll do the same again. Mrs LGC has taken an alternate route to work this morning.

Flood warnings in Peterborough area, nothing unusual with the Nene Valley
I certainly wont be cycling to work and that route will be impassable for a few days.

Oh and its raining..
On a brighter note It's Friday

Someone may have polished off most of the office milk this morning ! The milk fairy still hasn't been left any money in the milk tin, and after 4 weeks this is too much !

My porridge was lovely !

The joys of an office full of 20-30 year olds - kitchen is a tip also.

A dragon would be nice, but it'd likely scorch the grass, where a unicorn would only eat the tops of the daffodils, in the spring..

Fixed a problematic light fitting last night. My SIL has an electrical/lighting shop and we'd seen one of the display lights a couple of years ago and always loved it - it has 8 individual lights suspended on wires - it's one of those fittings that can only really go on a landing above stairs as the 'drop' of the lights comes down to chest level. 2 of the bulbs have a poor connection (hence us getting it for a big discount) but even with contact cleaner, they have had to be adjusted regularly.

A bit of googling, and I discovered you can buy electrically conductive grease. Squirted a bit of that in the fitting (halogen bulbs with tiny pins on), and hey presto it's working.

Folk are arriving now, and there is very little milk !!
