Miserable rainy day here. There's as much rain predicted for Storm Dennis as for Storm Ciara but the problem if of course that this time around the ground is already saturated so I can see more flooding on rivers this time. "Dennis the menace: Storm has become a 'BOMB cyclone' that is 'one of the strongest EVER seen in the Atlantic' as it rages towards Britain and will be WORSE than Ciara when it hits this afternoon" "No fewer than 40,000 passengers have been affected so far as budget airline EasyJet cancels 234 flights from, to and within the UK as the fourth named storm of the year fourth named storm of the year brings 70mph winds and 100mm of rainfall in some areas from Saturday morning." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8006819/Storm-Dennis-explodes-BOMB-cyclone-one-strongest-seen-Atlantic.html

Strangest comment of the evening. There's no point to a joke if you have to explain it ... but here goes Mr Stabby is so named because of his huge weapon, and penchant for using it... therefore she only wants your body after he's finished with you ... cut you up ... insurance claim ... it must be the language barrier. Rog He's just trying to generate conversation with you, for some weird reason this is how he goes about it. He knew what you were on about.

And why would she want me minced & diced, so she can eat my liver with same fava beans and a nice chianti? Here's something quite peculiar, Pirkko's kids are here for the weekend and we are watching a video (3 hours long!) from Christmas '89 of her house (this same house) and her family. Funny to see what they looked like then, and how they spoke. What Christmas presents they got. Pirkko was a lot slimmer then. And had no clue then that she'd be pushing open lock gates 30 years later.

This country is populated with whingers because they complained that EA didn't sound a WW11 siren as a flood warning, EA thought that phone calls, text messages and e-mails would do the job. I now live at an altitude of 30ft and still get flood warnings from EA if the Lark is going to try to escape Phil

Do you get these things from a busier forum ?
Trucknet maybe.
If so I think it's almost as worthy of castigation as foxy's cut and

Well, the wind has dropped now but it is hammering down with rain. Curiously I always love going to bed with the sound of heavy rain on the boat roof, I don't know why, perhaps it's because I'm so warm and dry but only a couple of feet away from the wet and cold.

Quite windy and the river is flying at the moment on the Thames near Staines Upon Thames.
Obviously not possible to admit being in Staines so let's just say the boat is "nearby'. Very noisy in the crew cabin with the water flow.
The wind is howling like this raging storm inside. Couldn't keep it together heaven knows I tried.

Well I'm still here this morning ..... rained steadily all night but no biblical downpours here ..... wind strong but so far nothing like the buffeting I got from Ciara I expect the water level will be back to deep over the quay again ....... but I'm starting to get used to that

Wasn't anywhere near as bad as last weekend, but possibly we're in a more sheltered spot. I hope the other river dwellers and flood area residents are doing okay. Rog ETA Some body has posted on Jane's fb that "The Trenton Mersey canal is up by 4 inches" Made me laugh
