I still retain my original stance: How do you test for 'Covid-19'? Supposedly a bio-weapon developed in laboratories in China. Or was it from bat soup from the Wuhan 'wet market' which happens to be right next to the bio-weapons labs? Or should we believe the nice, honest Chinese 'Communist' Government's story that it was a CIA agent who dropped a phial at the market releasing the virus? Do we use the test kits that China has so kindly sold to us? Do they work? Why would they work if it is a bio-weapon and China doesn't even want you to know what it is, let alone test for it to find out if you are OK. Or not. There are different manufacturers of test kits for Covid-19. Are there products consistent? If you are tested and come up as 'positive' (for what? -the 'virus' itself or antibodies suggesting you may have had it?) and 27 days later you get run over by a bus, your death goes down in the statistics as a Covid-19 death. The time limit was originally 3 months! How ridiculous. I do note that if you search for 'Covid-19 hoax' in YouTube there are no recent clips (what there is are months old) - almost as if YouTube has been told not to include them. Platforms have been removed for anyone who dare suggest the whole thing is a hoax - why? And now we are being brainwashed into the "vaccine for all - almost ready!". The most sensible articles I've read so far about this 'situation' are those in Private Eye.

And I don't like cats. Find someone else to wriggle off the hook with.

Bedford to Earith on the Great Ouse is also on SSA - as @loddon pointed out; first since March for both rivers.

Now I know it's 12 years since we left the Broads so maybe things have changed, but I was under the impression that it was mandatory to use a bridge pilot at Potter Higham, likewise at Wroham though you could get away with it there, but my mate was a bridge pilot at Wroxham and at least once a week he would come home with the latest tale of disaster. Of course a private boat can do as it pleases. Phil

Ah - I see it's been raining a bit in Englandland?
"It was showing no stream warnings earlier in the day on the Thames, but the level went up significantly today at Abingdon."
"I would say that if you are on a river now, you should put long lines on, and just wait.....too late to escape!! Avon is going up very quickly, Nene starting to rise, Soar will be quite tasty by the morning, even the Great Ouse should give me 3 early warning messages I reckons as it hasnt stopped around Milton Keynes for almost 36 hours now."
Long range forecast for Finland is a warm October 3-5 degrees above average. In 2 weeks' time the lowest temperatures in southern Finland should be above freezing. I think we shall be going South with our Summer tyres, then. This week wheels off for washing and de-stoning the treads of the tyres. I had a good idea for one timelapse clip today; that'll be my main project for the trip, to try and get enough material for a video.

Thames is well up and weirs are fully drawn. Maybe TonyDunkley is right about the lack of dredging. It makes sense. Big floods last winter and now at the first sign of rain everything open and levels up. Predictable I guess.

Living by an upstream contributor to the Thames, places that used to be marsh for 6 months a year are now either built upon or very carefully 'managed' Nature reserves (including one lake that has had to have 'oxygenators' installed), excess/unwanted water is fed into the Thames asap during times of heavy rain.

"A boat that slipped its moorings and drifted down the New Cut has come to a muddy end on the banks of the River Avon. Bristol24/7 understands that the unmanned craft got swept down over Netham Weir on Monday morning, before floating out of Bristol on the outgoing tide. Unmoored and unmanned, this little boat just drifted past my office. Bon voyage little boat." www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/runaway-boats-journey-comes-to-a-muddy-end/

It’s rained here in the Northamptonshire uplands for 3 days now and the brook in the village which feeds into the Nene is pretty full for the first time in months. When the hills fill up down it goes either to Wisbeach or on the other side to poor old Tewksbury. Then there’s all the run off from the vast warehouses that have been built in the floodplain west of Northampton and are still being built. It would be difficult to think of more stupid planning decisions than those made in Northampton by the idiot planners who know that parts of the town have been flooded in fairly recent times.

Ah - I see it's been raining a bit in Englandland? "It was showing no steam warnings earlier in the day on the Thames, but the level went up significantly today at Abingdon." You should be unchuffed!
