Never got into scrumpy. Tried it a few times. Maybe I never got a good one.
Is it still that cloudy stuff??

I'm partial to a pint of cider, there's all sorts of fancy ciders about now, most of it clear. I remember from very many years ago someone coming back from home leave with a large flagon of home brew scrumpy, it was cloudy, had bits in it, and resembled rocket fuel.

I have been out and am now back, there is an awful lot of water about as the fields are flooding right across the roads and the dykes are full, much more and it will be serious for many around these parts.

Our side garden is the worst we recall. Nothing serious, just lots of standing water. My son tells me roads are flooded near him, north of Nottingham.

It is official I am now in training for our visit down south to Pam's nephew whose wife happens to be Irish, the first mini Guinness has been partaken. Bit of a ritual each year we go down there after a couple of hours boozing Pauline gets the Tia Maria and Baileys out and her and me start knocking them back, something I have learned is she is far better than I am at drinking.

Is she a leprechaun?

Blimey, have you met her.

Hasn't stopped raining all day today. Everything is saturated.

It is for some down the Valley, houses evacuated already.

Roads two hundred foot above me are "flooded", 4 inches of water on the road and they've managed to get stuck, blocking the roads.

Yep. It was tipping it down when I got up just after 6. It was tipping it down when I went out (not on the bike!) just after 9. It was tipping it down when I got back at 12. It was tipping it down just before I dropped off for a snooze began my meditation at 2. It was tipping it down when my eyes opened at 4. It's still tipping it down now and I suspect it still will be when I head out later.

Going to be a cold one tonight clear sky, moons out and only 3c could get our first frost tomorrow

Just been out for my early evening walk with Muttley and it's already might cold. Frost and ice tonight, perchance?
