Rain
Posted in Idling on 07/21/2007 07:21 pm by foolhandyI feel a little odd posting this, because it could be seen as gloating. It’s certainly not though. Just amazement.
Dad’s visiting this weekend and he, Helen & I sat in a beer garden to have lunch thankful for the sunshade keeping the hot sun from our heads whilst allowing us to enjoy the clear blue sky.
Meanwhile in Alcester, the place I moved from exactly a year ago today…
That’s the main road to Stratford, just around the corner from High Street and posted on a BBC In Pictures page showing scenes around Warwickshire.
It’s like I’m living in a different country.
Full track listings of my Sun/Rain CD compilations will be posted tomorrow…

I watched the news and this and thought that you’d be very happy to have left. What about your brother?

He’s in the Lake District but their house is high enough to be OK. Mum has been stuck at a colleague from work’s house since Friday though because she can’t get home…

That’s terrible. Poor woman. Oxford (parts of) is going to get bad apparently because the Thames is a slow-rising river, they say. I just drove over a bridge here and I could see that the river has about six inches to go before it’s up and over. Erk!

It’s an odd situation. We’ve just come back from a day by the coast and it’s been shorts, t-shirts and sandals weather. I may even have caught the sun a bit.

Well, I know! I’m roasting in my part of Oxford (sun’s out and it’s beautiful) while they’re flooded a mile away. I don’t know what’s going to happen next!
