Well, I was out and about at 6am this morning. Doing shopping for the daughter and neighbours.
It was scary this morning, I hit a few floods in places and in the dark you're upon them before you know it. I just left carrier bags by their front doors. Just nipping into town soon for a few things for the daughter from Holland and Barret and Savers. Then that's my lot done for the day.

This storm that is predicted, looks like a humdinger. It may prevent me from getting to the hospital. I hope not.

Errrrr... A late night - An "attack" on my pooter, and took hours to get to beddie-biies.
Now: how to start a topic .... errrrr ... ummmm .... Looks like several roads around here are flooded - possibly an exaggeration, and/or events that occurred during the night and are now resolved .... I only thought that the Essex Marshes were from days of yore (well at least up to the 1952/3 floods). I know the Railway is running (I heard a Train earlier).
A couple of years ago I was walking home (Having just missed a bus, after crossing to the unpaved side of the road), a storm occurred and Every damn vehicle in Christemdem were trying breakneck speed past me. At that point the grass verge became a slippery slope into the the road. Also at that point acres of red paint and flashing blue lights came to a stop beside me. One couldn't see into the Fire-engine window - it was too high - to tell what I had done wrong. A window slip open and from the driving seat a very refined female voice called .. "I say, would you like a lift - you'll have to climb into the back though". Whenever I encounter todays weather I keep thinking of that woman and her crew..... I believe that she is one of the Fire-service Drivers who are taking up the slack in need for ambulance drivers (some queuing to get their patients into hospital, and some themselves AWOL with Covid, and yet others doing 'nocculation jobs). I was just pondering on how the Fire service are involved of the floods (from rain) or the floods from a couple of watermane bursts.. What a flimsy world we live in?

The storm hit here during the night. Strong winds and very heavy rain. Thankfully it has stopped for a while, but the sky is dark and I think there is more to come. I think you are right,GLO. When we see the power of the wind and rain, we are indeed flimsy.

We have had heavy snow last night. It has cleared a little this morning. My husband died last night at about 8.30pm. I have to go to the hospital today for some leaflets telling me what to do.
