Walked Joy round to Jason and Sofija's this morning to see if they needed any help after being flooded. Sofija had gone to work, it was her first day of a new job and she felt that to miss it would not be a good start, flood or no flood. Jason's mum and stepdad were there. They are both lovely but Ted is now in his eighties and has a heart condition so couldn't do much apart from fetch sandwiches and coffee and Jason was having to spend a lot of time on the phone trying to get the electricity turned back on, so I finished Joy's walk, took her home then returned with rubber gloves. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as last time, partly because there was about 3 feet less water than last time and partly because this time they knew what to expect so were better prepared. Between us we'd got it clean and habitable again in around 3 hours, so not too bad. Also this time the local sewage plant didn't flood
so no
. Ted kept us all amused by singing rain related songs and reminded me of an old favourite that I'd forgotten, 'Into each life some rain must fall'. I've found myself humming it for the rest of the afternoon. So it could have been worse, and it was quite a satisfactory day. Also Jason says that he owes me at least one glass of wine on Friday.
Just hoping for no more heavy rain for a while.

Jason and Sofija have always helped me out so much that they're practically family! Of course I'd help them, no doubt about it.

Jason and Sofija must have been so grateful for your help as having all that water in the house must have been extremely distressing.
@kateincornwall hope the thunder and lightening doesn't come my way tonight

Crazy floods and crazy weather seem to happen almost every year now for you guys. Is that just my impression? Hope everyone stays safe.

Yes, something is clearly going very wrong and we're to blame.

We had really heavy hail here today. It was rainy then blowy and then hail. This is not properly trained weather!

Still very windy here, and something or other lashing against the windows.The novelty has worn off and GGJ and I no longer care to investigate. We're just busy staying snug.

Red and I have just done the long walk. Wind gusting at nearly 50mph - a few slippery places from the frozen snow that hasn’t thawed. Glad to be back indoors

We went to a rather exposed hill this morning as trying to keep away from trees, howling strong wind, hail and thunder. Lasted an hour then decided to turn back as I was struggling to keep my little frame planted on the ground! xx

We are back to normal walks and did two hours this morning, mostly through horizontal hail!
I did wonder if Joy might not like it and was watching her for signs of distress, but no, she skipped along through it all as happily as if it was a warm Spring day! She's a game little girl!

Wind, snow, sun, more snow, bit of hail, sunshine, more wind... It's like April here!
