End of the world.

Twice!

The Great Flood instead? One end of the village is closed off due to one of the rivers having burst its banks So, having been shuttled by here and there by different buses this morning so DH could go and get his new gnashers installed, I can see that the other river has burst its banks (we're between the two) and the water is creeping across the field towards us . I'm not going to bother hoovering now.

Double-buffing, just to be on the safe side, eh, anno?

Dig a drainage ditch like those ones we had to dig at guide camps long ago, marelli . Hope the water doesn't reach you. Our back terrace is awash, but then it often is. We just have to make sure the drains aren't blocked.

You can park your ark here if you like, we are on a hill

Anno I haven't got one let alone two

I didn't do the drainage ditches, Bags - only the latrines . Suppose it would work the same though .

I must've been on a lot of wet camps. We used to dig a trench around each tent to stop water running in. They were the patrol tents with no built in ground sheet. Great tents but harder work than modern ones.

Well be all survived. There's a surprise. Happy Christmas and a healthy and wise 2013.

And I've been eating chocolate all week knowing that it didn't matter....

News item this evening."Today according to the Mayan calendar, some people believed the world was going to end at 11.11a.m. (pause) It didn't."

gracesmum I heard that on the Radio. The newsreader delivered that so totally deadpan it was funny.

I am putting the halo back in the drawer until the next time the world ends.

Well done anno it was upsetting me that you were perfect and I am not Now I can believe you are as bad as me if the halo has gone
