Where I live is not known for flooding so this was completely unexpected.

My two week holiday just got bumped down to one because of flooding, which is why I'm here to moan about it now.
FYI: For our holiday, my family and I went camping, using our brand new trailer tent (as apposed to one of the four other tents we already own that would have been perfectly suitable, if not more so) which was also meant for three people (my family has four). Our ground sheet was a fancy 'Eco-mat!' - essentially a big rubber carpet with holes in so that the grass could do stuff and worms could pop in when they felt like it. The idea was that we'd spend one week in one site, and the second week in another.
On Friday, it rained through the entire night and the morning. I am not joking. Rain started roughly around 6pm. Rain ended at some point around 3pm the following day. No not-wet intervals. Water / mud came through the Eco-mat, the gravel paths were under over an inch of rainwater and the poor sods in caravans found that their mobile tow-homes were not only partially underwater, they where also partially underground... (Big heavy thing + rain-saturated mud = sinkage!). The local rabbits sat huddled under the bushes (thier warrens being rapidly dissolved into brown mush) and we spent the entire time huddled in the tent. I finished reading 'The Founding' - the first compiliation in the Gaunts Ghosts series - during this time.
We were the lucky ones (save for the smug gits in Cornwall)
The next campsite we were intending to go to was near a river. Said river burst its banks, leaving the site completely underwater and completly closed for business unless you owned one of those boat-home thingies. As a result, we went home instead. So here I am. Bit stiff, quite muddy, but glad to see the new Spring release!

Once upon a time in a far away land
Story wrote: Caydr was waking up, to find his house had been looted. The rooms shook as he looked out hsi window to see street lights passing by. His house had been placed upon a large automobile and was being driven slowly through floodwaters.
To celebrate the occasion, caydr had a bowl full of cabbage for breakfast which promptly screamed in a drunken rage as it was boiled.
Black Liger bought the house, 0.75b29,275 was released, and they all sailed off to china.
