Even us gloomy mancs have some sun today, it's too warm

Well I cannot say the same of today's weather, I thought it was still night time when I left my windowless place of work a few minutes ago
Somebody turn on the lights.

Currently sat in my hotel room, on my "summer" holiday to Kefalonia.......Been here for 3 days so far and it's rained solidly for 2 of them, endured the worst thunderstorms I've ever experienced during the night. There is another 1 rumbling away at the moment and they are forecast to last for the next 5 days. Well at least I'm not at work!



Reports of roads being washed away and the capital (Argostoli) is under water.

Have you tried the Cottage Loaf? We used to go to Tiffany's but the staff started to spend time chatting to each other rather than serving.

We've been past it but not been in it. We were in the London last night, we like the Albert for a meal if we can get in.

It's wild, wet and windy here today. I'm sitting on the sofa reading my book and drinking strong coffee.

I don't remember Oxford being that hilly.

Quick wander to the pub later?

How would you know - as I recall, you are banned from Oxford.

I stay at Boarstall Head and sneak over the wall

Boars Hill was the place, very nice kebab vans there

Blimey.

I first went to Kefalonia in the early 90's. Stayed in a lovely apartment in Argostoli.
The airport at the time was just a tin shack. Everyone had to get their own luggage off a trolley. For the return flight it was as if we were sitting in an oven.

All too modern for me.....perhaps some Wagner or Mahler?

Were they your friends?

A toddler has just gone by being dragged screaming to the beach?

Is it me?
