No real problems chez Lanfranc, except that getting to and from work is an interesting exercise. Drove the Subaru up to London on Monday (with a full load of people and computers, lest Kevin accuse me of climatic vandalism). Going in was reasonable, but coming home the River Roding, normally a puny little trickle, was busy bursting its banks and flooding places like Ilford, which don't normally suffer much from flooding. Could the Thames barrier have anything to do with unexpected flooding in both Essex and Kent?

Now, what were the dimensions of the Ark? That bit of birdseye maple might come in useful after all.

Glad no Mudcatter seems to be suffering unduly, and very sorry for the poor sods that are.
