It all got a bit Climate Changey/End-Of-The-World/Apocalypse/Armageddon with our weather yesterday. My rough estimate would be that 6 years worth of rain fell in the hours 10am to 4pm. We live on a very slight incline, so when you go out of our drive and turn left, you are moving very slightly uphill, and we could see the water pouring down that road like a river. I didn’t venture far, but apparently most of the smaller roads nearby were completely impassable. You could still see signs of flooding everywhere this morning, even on my small journey to work.
I see it all as a sign of things to come, so I was
going to check the long-term forecast for where Britain’s coastline will be
once all the ice melts in the next few decades, but I decided not to bother as
I doubt it would be good news and there’s enough to be depressed about as it
is, what with our government behaving like a terrible drugs cartel from a small
undeveloped country somewhere or other, and the ever-looming Brexit Breakdown
looming like a loom that’s about to topple over and kill someone. Instead, I
ate a whole tube of BBQ Pringles and drowned my sorrows in a Mango Smoothie
with enough sugar in it to kill a walrus.
On
the bright side – the chances are our house will have a sea view by 2025.RC 7-10-19
