It's raining... seriously, it's not stopped since Sunday... well, maybe a slight exaggeration... it has stopped for at least... 2-3hrs at a time... several times. But basically, it's not dried out enough anywhere for 4 days.

The flood plains have flooded... the pedestrian paths and cycleway out into the countryside may already be impassable, the river through town is rising and the reservoir overflow has been struggling to keep up, flooding the river on another flood pain before it reaches town... where it actually has to flow under buildings.

It's dark... it's grey... and it's fucking miserable.

I find myself wanting to crawl into bed at 8pm onwards... in fact it's 8:40pm now... and I'm thinking... mmmm bed and a movie (not that sort you pervs... well... depends if I can convince the other arf with an early night too)... last night it was The Fifth Element... what classic from the 80's or 90's will it be tonight.

Suggestions on a postcard too... no.. wait... comment below.

It’s dark… it’s grey… and it’s fucking miserable.

Totally feel this. It's depressing isn't it? You feel like it's about 10pm but it's only just turned 6pm!

What did you end up watching?

Ended up watching a movie from a few years ago called Slingshot... psychological drama set on a spaceship... kinda Meh If I'm honest.
