So Dave rang last night. Could we go into school today instead of Thursday? His family had been planning on spending a few days away but they're not going because the place they were going to is flooded. Today's better for me then I really turn my back on it for about five weeks.

Flooding. If you're interested...

We're safe here because Ormskirk is on an escarpment--water drains away from here--and so far Jenn reports the Ouse in York, though full, has not overflowed. She's actually closer to the Foss but that collects water from a different area of land and rarely floods.

My friends in US complain of blistering temperatures, at the moment. I must admit, miserable though this almost constant rain is, I'd rather have this than the heat. At least I can still go out, armed with waterproof clothing or brolly. 
I don't like heat and it drives me indoors to sit next to a fan. It drains me of all my energy and I never know what to wear to be comfortable. Even the nights get too hot to sleep properly. Yes, give me the damp British summer, anytime.

Yikes! We're having stormy weather too, but not like that!
I have a friend in Oxfordshire and this morning she said roads are flooded.
