There's a canal behind us and a small river the other side of that. Everything the other side is flooded, some houses have been evacuated, businesses under water. Our side of the canal maxed at 75mm or so below the top of the bank.
I'm very nervous and hoping the water drops over the next 2 days because more rain is forecast later in the week and all the flood plains are full.

Without giving too much away, which part of the world are you in? I'll admit to being a tad worried because I confidently expected my sibling to check in today...and she hasn't.

On the BBC today , ' twas said that some northern farmers spray their rams with Lynx Africa ( nothing else will do ) after they have finished tupping , to calm them down and stop 'em fighting ! Make of that what you will !
