The rain here in the last two days has been like the start of The Flood as chronicled in the Bible - well almost - and our garden and basement have flooded for the first time ever. The garden slopes very gently towards the back of the house and the run-off from the lawn has flooded the terrace to a depth of eight inches, almost to the top of the steps from the ground floor, and water has poured into the basement down the outside steps leading to that. Luckily we don't keep anything important down there, but the water is almost waist deep on me and Jeff when we ventured down to see what was what. Luckily all the electrical fuse boards etc are on the groundfloor and not in the basement, and the only electric supply is to the ceiling light as there are no sockets.

Inbetween the lightening storms we have been out in the rain a few times and had fun getting thoroughly soaked. We joined a few mates to watch cars attempting to drive through flood water under the bridge where we saw the chap get stuck a week or so back but the flooding in the town is now quite extensive with a few roads completely underwater. Not much fun if your car gets stuck, I guess, (and we saw a few of them and helped push a couple out) but good fun to cycle through and splash around in with everyone getting a good soaking. More rain forecast for today and tomorrow, so lots of opportunities to stay wet as often as we like. A good distraction from the chaos of exam results which are due out for us on Thursday.
