Royal Rain

Today it has pissed and pissed with rain.
Heavy sheets of it fell for about 10 hours.
I can’t remember seeing it fall so hard for so long but I’m sure it has.
Flooding across the Southern half of England has been horrendous.
Our turn to experience what the North has had the last two weeks.
The part of the River Avon that flows through the village, is running at 7ft.
It’s usually ankle deep!
There are massive logs and uprooted fence posts being washed along at a rate of knots.

Golf.
I hate fucking golf.
Is there a more pointless spectator sport in the world?
Perhaps snooker or chess.
The whole BBC2 programming day has been given over to this fucking boring ‘sport’.
As the late, great Linda Smith said, “Golf is something that gets people who should stay indoors, outdoors.”

The Queen has been out and about visiting in the pissing rain.
Western Super Mare got her today.
Everywhere she goes brats give her flowers, wouldn’t it be really shite if she had hay fever?
Her vacant look and fixed grin could be down to huge amounts of Piriton anti-histamine she throws down her neck.
That’s why she is driven everywhere and we never see her operating heavy machinery.
Poor bitch, at the age when most old dears are at home watching ‘Cash In The Attic’ she has to shlep around the country smiling and shaking hands with arseholes.
G-d love her.

Golf is dull beyond endurance and it seems to attract people who play it for reasons which seem to be non-sporty.
The Queen's an inspiration to us all, I get that now.

That's true actually - the old love is well past retirement age yet here she is doing her bit on what seems to be a pretty regular basis.

I'm home now and thoroughly knackered. Thanks so much for all the gril sitting. Not a pooh in sight :-)

I'm a real Betty fan since watching 'The Queen'!

Glad you are home safe but you have the others to thank for cat sitting too!

I know - and I have brought pressies. However, because I was travelling light, my suitcase space was limited so the gifts are small and hopefully pleasingly formed!
