The Great British Weather

That's nothing compared to the drizzle we have to put up with.

Never. Ending. Drizzle!

Higher Ground

When the floods came it was slow, at first.
The water crept over the Southbank,
And people began to get wet feet
Coming out of the theatre.
On the third day every road
Out of London was blocked,
By cars crammed with luggage,
Bedding pressed against back windows,
Nervous pets digging claws
Into children's thighs.
It was cold for March.
We watched them abandon the cars
As the heaters ran the batteries down
And the waters rose.
We thought we were safe on our hill.
After a week they were kicking down the doors
Pale hands reaching through broken glass
While we stabbed at their fingers
With kitchen knives.

Mullaghmore, Ireland.

fuck every single thing about that ride home. fucking headwind cunt

Please tell me you rode NW home and not SE.

there seems to be a lot more wind and rain than normal at the moment. i hope it doesn't become the norm.

SW. was a fucking nightmare, I limped the last 2 miles home through the backroads so I didn't have to ride the dual carriageway stretch of road with the hump that goes over the tram line outside morden I was that fucked.

Mind today was meant to be my rest day after 6 days of running so I was going to be fucked anyways commuting 11miles each way but the weather made it 10x as bad on the way home.

I've got 10 miles to do, heading SE and am also knackered from running / cycling this week.

Balls.

Is it raining? I need to walk a mile to a pub in my bullshit leather shoes

Not in N1

Don't you have windows at work?

have you seen the i.t. crowd on c4 ?

Balls.

Time for a dose of this.

Fair.

6 PRs on Strava and the quickest commute home yet.

Easy solution - just rent two flats, one in SW and one in NE. Then you get to choose.

So this rain which could now officially be described as heavy (again) is forecast to carry on pretty much continually until 8/9am tomorrow.

Noah called, he wants his ark back.

It's dark so I couldn't see the road to work out if rain was falling.

It wasn't.

I arrived dry and left supremely hydrated.

the more I commute through Surreys, the higher the Thames seemed to get.

Bit worrying.

Yup, getting higher now;
