twobears Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm stuck here at home because all the roads to the outside world are now flooded I've had to ring my instructor to cancel my riding lesson and I can't even get up to see my horse. Horse doesn't care, apparently, because she's been turned out in a really lush field and is busy wading around knee-deep in grass but I am fed up of this bl**dy weather When will the rain ever stop? Can I rain please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobears Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Ok, I'll go and get my Anti-Rain-Dance clothes on and do my special dance to drive the rain away. Hang on a sec! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I thought you just bought a big 4x4 to enable you to drive in all conditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 When will the rain ever stop? Not until the Jetstream shifts from its current position. I can tell you that there's absolutely no sign of it moving for at least another 2 weeks and there are already signs of yet another big storm heading our way for next week.

twobears Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks for the info Pete, even if you are the bearer of bad news Ekona, no, the Evoque is my husband's company car and he has managed to get out of the village by driving on the grass verges. I don't think Mr Zed would take kindly to that sort of thing though Also, my husband still has to make the return journey this evening and, if the rain continues at this rate, I think he'll need some sort of car provided by the likes of Q that can turn into a boat cmck13 - ok, I'll wave to camera just for you. I'm busy adding the final goose feathers to my outfit now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Ive had a great start to the day - MR2 we are supposed to be using on trackday tomorrow has decided its clutch should die overnight, and wont give up the location of its fluid reservoirs, the GTI-6 thats right in front of it has a power steering leak that Id left for a couple of weeks as I didnt think Id need the car so is out of commission, its hammering down with rain and the place we are supposed to be camping all weekend is arguably in East Anglia, the Midlands and the North East the three places there are severe weather warnings. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Got the MR2 fixed, going to see if I can find an ark of some sort as it will probably drown on the way to Blyton now Heard it was bad up your way from my Mum Lee, more to come today as well. Id probably just stay in bed for a bit if I was you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
