<> and I am sorry about all of the flooding on your side of the pond.   Here's hoping for a fast cessation of the waters.

No, the internet got flooded.
Anyway, the low-pressure areas have been southbound and hit Europe before "raining out" over Iceland. So, for us over here, we hardly had a drop of rain in some 6 weeks, and we have a very warm climate as well. Call it comfy, on a day job in an open tractor you wear shorts and T-shirt.

I guess the Queen will think twice about having a Native American folk dance troop dance for her again.

My mum reckon's its not been so bad in Scotland - pretty average (read cr@p) summer there.

As for England - well - its pretty sad, but then a lot of them needed a good wash.

Saw it here. Looks real nasty over there. I hope all you guys are alright, I know Aces High has a lot of great pilots over there, and great guys in general. Since my family is already be unusual and actually praying, we've got you folks in our hopes and prayers too. I hope all you guys pull through alright.

Yup pretty bad here, ok down here in the south west still been pissing it down for weeks, Rhianna and 'Umbrella' has been number 1 for 9 weeks now I think as well.

Drove up to my Girlfriends last weekend luckily missed the bad day as people had been forced to sleep in their cars due to massive traffic jams caused by flooding over the M4 motorway.

And as i drove up had to keep avoiding piles of asphalt at the recent road works near reading which had been recently laid as it was peeling up like ribbons and collecting in piles on the carriageway.

The worst of it is that due to power sub stations and water treatment works also being flooded up near gloucester they are without power and fresh water.

But gotta stay upbeat, things could be worse.

Lol.  FYI I have a shower every 6 months, even if I don't need one.

It could be worse.  Certainly nothing like as bad as New Orleans or what the poor souls in Pakistan have had.

But thank you for the sentiments.
