Wet and windy and cold here - or I assume it is cold - it looks cold
but I haven;t been out

Done Wordle in 3 - used a different start word for a change and it proved to be lucky (that's not clue - just in case!)

I’ve long since forgotten what the word was!

Still wet and windy here. I would quite like a walk but it will need to be full waterproofs if I do. Probably guarantees the sun will come out.

Get out there and don't give up until you find and return it safe and sound.

Its blowing a hoolie here, and its not bothering to rain its just water from the ground up.

I managed to catch a lull in the rain - light drizzle only when I dashed to Aldi an hour ago.

I was making a pot of coffee after I got back when suddenly the flood siren at Todmorden fire station sounded. I just checked the environment agency website... NOT a drill - some flooding is 'expected'. Normally, they say 'possible' in this situation so it sounds like the poor people in the flood zone will be hit again!

The river level is supposed to peak about 3/4 m above where it was when the siren sounded, which would be 1/2 m below its highest recorded level.

I hope the new flood defences in Mytholmroyd hold!

Both Lidl and Aldi were built in areas which tend to flood but they are raised up about 1.5 metres above where the flood waters normally reach so they should be okay. The owners of the older buildings at street level will not be so lucky.

Here's hoping the recent "defenses" work this time.
