Weather

They're evacuating homes in several areas of Sheffield. We've had 70mm+ of rain in just over 24 hours and the council have declared a major emergency. The River Don is close to bursting its banks in several places, the M1 is shut, people are camping out at Meadowhall and cars are being washed away. And it's not reached its worst yet, we're expecting rain until about 6am. 

 

Shiiiiiiiiit.

I was in Sheffield for a couple of days just last week. There but for the grace of God. Coulda been me, man, coulda been me.

Sorry, I only saw this after I made that last sarcy post. Didn't realise it was so serious. Hope everyone's OK.

No apology necessary mate! Thankfully, I'm not aware of any injuries or risk to life but it's going to have caused millions of pounds of damage and have left people out of their homes and businesses. On the plus side, it looks like my wife's school night be closed so she'll get a day off! No such look for me.

I thought they had invested in things after the last floods in Yorkshire?

Cornwall is lovely when the sun shines, but quite often it doesnt and when its rainy and misty, like it has for the past 2 weeks, its a fucking depressing place.

Did you copy and paste that from your Airbnb account?

What were you expecting, a massive umbrella?

I was actually expecting them to invest the money they received from the Eu to prevent further flooding.

 

Big umbrella and wellington boots it is then.

They've spent millions on flood defences and sustainable drainage systems in Sheffield and Hull. Sheffield has some of the most innovative urban drainage in the country but it's small steps and too late. It would have been much worse without them here but the amount of rain was phenomenal.

That forecast for Monday & Tuesday!

 

39 degrees apparently round here. Christ. 
 

It’s alright to be that hot when you’re lounging around a pool. Not so good when all I’m armed with is a tower fan from Home Bargains. Gonna be water fighting the kids after school both days, for sure.

We’ve got a football tournament in Wigan on Monday. I wonder if one of us will be the first person since the Cretaceous period to die of high stroke in Wigan.

Youngest kids school sent a letter out saying on Mon/Tuesday next week the kids will be ‘allowed’ to take their blazers and ties off.
 

Everything else must be as normal, so that means black thick trousers (with the school logo on of course), a polyester shirt (also with logo) and socks and shoes. 

They probably think they’re being lenient. I think they’re acting like dicks.

I wore shorts to the office on Wednesday.  Not kylie style, nice, tailored shorts. As I walked in you’d have thought I was wearing a bikini but one of the female grads commented ‘I’ve got my shorts on and no one batted an eyelid’ so nothing else was said.

I’m off to Porto on Monday so going to miss all the fun. It’s a lot cooler there.

I’m surprised they haven’t cancelled school Monday & Tuesday, especially for the early primary school years.

Looks like Cornwall is getting away with it

[Section_31]

When it hits 40 what percentage of men over 60 will be wearing a Harrington Jacket? I suspect 99 point NINE.

I'm actually a bit on the chilly side today.  Strong breeze, cloud, it's September today.
