The best way

to escape what has been an utterly vile day in our corner of the world (the extra shows the Hall Gardens next door, normally there's a 2ft wide beck between the Bridge and the culvert under our drive), bottom of our garden is under 4 inches of water and rising. Very glad the shepherd's hut is on 24 inch wheels.

Attended a mind numbing online training session this afternoon, nearly three hours of being talked at, no attempt to engage, snorr.

The rain is forecast to ease off through the night, fingers crossed.
