Yeah. It came up the Mississippi Valleey and now it's what's dropping on our heads and will for the remainder of the week.

My house is flooded, top and bottom now. Roof is officially busted, leaking and made a mess of my kitchen walls, counter top and god knows what else. Probably a mess of mold inside the walls.

I hope the insurance company calls soon! Gonna be a shit week mopping up water.

What is RLNI?

We're all OK, nothing as bad as you're thinking. One ruined wall, counter top from a leaky roof and the basement is the usual shit when it rains heavy.

Got two roofers coming for an estimate this week, and am trying to dig up more for the inside work.

Thank goodness I could see me sending in food parcels of Penguins and Drifters.
I imagined the tide had risen on the full moon in bad weather like my gran would get in her house when she lived on the harbour. Sea water coming in through the front door and into the living room (Spring tide was always the worse, could go as far as the scullery)

LOL you have a vivid imagination! We're not that close to the sea, just the usual basement stuff and the newest issue is the blown roof.

Your RLNI is like our Coast Guard I guess?

Loads of photo's -none really show my grans house sadly, but if you see the 'The George' or the 'New Rooms' my grans was between both pub's as they were then.
*Loved dropping balls of paper on the sailors as they walk passed back to their ship, I'd lean out of the attic window, roll the ball down the roof and hope it would bounce off the guttering and onto their hats .
If it worked and they were drunk enough they would spend ages wondering where the paper came from.

The RLNI boats are totally run by volunteers. Andrew, the lad I sat next to in class when we lived in Swanage, was really proud of his dad who was the Coxswain of the lifeboat. He was a milkman as a trade, so if the gun went off during the morning we didn't get the milk delivered!
