Day IV

After hearing about the flooding in my home counties in the West Country and with the heavy rain throughout yesterday that turned the car park at my halls into a boating lake and Haydn Road into an extension of the Kennett and Avon; I was hoping for a headline about the floods down there so that I could take a photograph relevent to that current news story that is happening in the part of the world I hail from and still have a strong connection with through friends, family and my own emotional attachment to the place I grew up.

Also making a cameo appearance as an extra prop (not propellor, the need for an outboard has passed) is an umbrella (ella ella ella eh eh eh) I found in the street this morning before lectures and looked like a bit of a former-BBC Newsreader and 999 presenter named Michael (in other words: a Buerk) carrying around on my head for a while ...

Today's headline comes courtesy of The Times; the only paper carrying the flood story on the front-page (even the Western DailY Press wasn't running it - there was probably a pressing story about a combine harvester or something - I did an ET and Phoned Home to check) with the minimalist headline of: "Flood misery yet again."

Today's location is the corner of my halls of residence car park, the only area I observed that had retained any sizeable body of water from yesterday's rain! When I was out taking last night's photograph there were puddles the size of Lake Huron but, these had obviously been swallowed whole (like a fisherman's tale of a Giant Squid) by the drainage system, bravo!
