    As Guy Martin said " we aint made of sugar".I prefere the rain (warm) to freezing cold weather any day.frost on the roads is no fun but with a good set of tyres rain is no problem.

    Yep Jeanette's just been out with her parish council hat on to check the brook in the middle of the village as we're on a flood plain, so I may be on sand bag duty this afternoon.

    I've already said I'm not clearing any storm drains without a litigation waiver. It runs through a road full of solicitors.

    Not a cloud in big sky country, wall to wall sunshine. Make the most of it, its all going down hill later. Off to pick up my new AStars GP Pro 1 piece from Wheels then bob over to the East of England show. With a bit of luck the rain will come and we can bugger off home so we don’t have to suffer Marcus Collins and Janet Devilin on stage this evening.

    Well I'm back from my inspection safe and sound......



    No cheers eh?

    Fair enough. Well my particular little piece of Deb'n seems to have dodged the bullet so far and the water that was flowing over the bridge this morning is back where it belongs under it now. It's still bloody grim and has pissed all over tomorrows fireworks but my village has survived.

    Ottery St Mary got twatted so it looks like evolution is going to have to start all over again there......again.

    Everyone else okay?

    I saw the first line of this post and thought it must have had a makeover.

    Looks dryish in Abingdon at the moment, just a little overcast. Seriously considering getting my leathers on (I might just have to wear them to watch TV though)

    Well I try not to swing at the Met office as that would be shooting the piano player but based on their ongoing forecasts all day yesterday I cancelled the ride out and meet ups I had planned for today, which I'd been looking forward to for weeks and today get up to a cloudless sky, check their website and overnight their forecast has completely changed.

    Not happy!
