![]() Taint! a very good morning folks, we have drainage ditch running at the back of the Bungalow that is full to the brim and lapping the bottom of the fence, both ends of are road are flooded, but can get out if we take the scenic route, there is a very slight incline in the road sadly to say the ditch has over flowed into their back gardens and out through the garages, the very end house is completely swamped at the moment we are still dry. fingers crossed and every thing as well. So far we are extremely lucky compared with others. Not so good for others who have been flooded three or more times before. We pray for their safety and if some of us who are lucky not to be in their situation and can offer some sort of help please do. And our sincere thanks go out to all the Troops and Firemen who have been working all hours. Rev. |

LOL Every year the MOT came around I had to fettle the handbrake and I rarely used it, Tony described it well when he said the Rover 75 are great cars but have handbrakes made of dried toast ![]()

![]() Managed a late afternoon walk as the rain has subsided, I’m sure it will return shortly though.

![]() It certainly is, apart from when you almost scald the back of your head off removing the radiator cap on a hot bus

![]() Entirely my own fault Andy, but I’m fine, was in agony for the journey back from Kielder to Newcastle, good job the coach was auto. One hand on the wheel, the other holding a soaked cloth on the back of my head trying to cool it.

![]() Decided to take MG to work today as just had Rover washed and road was so badly flooded all the cars including 4 x 4s were turning back. I couldn't afford to be late so drove through very slowly, water up to the doors, car didn't seem to want to go after I got through, but after a while in 2nd gear seemed to recover and made it. So my 42 year old car got through when all the others turned back.
