I could listen to Jonathan Agnew read the phone book.

TMS = Sheer Bliss

Aggers has the most relaxing voice to listen to

I am back from Cambridge. The flash floods in Rugby were interesting... particularly the one we got through - just (turned out we were the last car to manage it) which smelled like raw sewage. It was . Then a detour to Milton Keynes train station and back to Cambridge. I swear the storm cloud was tied to our car. Couldn't escape it
However, home has .

We watched it all happening on the horizon, the sky was leaden and the distant rumble of thunder was constant. Here however we still had a bit of sunshine.

Oh, and the smell of raw sewage - normal for Rugby.

Look @potsy a healthy kebab.

I brought some souvlaki seasoning back from Greece, so I had to try it out.

The only thing on that plate I wouldn't eat is the skewers.

Never seen anything quite like it before. It was full on monsoon. Really bizarre. We had two sections where the road dipped under a bridge and it was just flowing down the road and filling the dip. People were opening front doors to let water out. The roads just became rivers. Truly fascinating

My, those Greek bananas look small!

I am about to mount an expedition to the outside freezer on a noble quest for food. I may be some time.

The gent that died was caught under a railway bridge.

Puts my moan about being woken up by the thunder in the early hours into perspective. We got away lightly.

Someone died? not seen any news about the flooding.

I have a terrible dilemma. One of my favourite comics and twitter chum Lee Ridley is on Britains Got Talent tonight. Obviously I want him to win, because he deserves so much more recognition than he has right now, and he is a wonderful person. However, that means watching BGT, something I have never done. Worse, is that I will also have to vote, which means giving them money

Sadly yes, an old gent who tried to drive through a flood.

easy to get it wrong. We were lucky. Only decided to push through to get to get a cousin to the station. As it was, they closed the station due to flooding just as we dropped him off. Hence the entertaining M. Keynes diversion.

I won't drive or ride through floods now after I saw two drain covers pop on my road in a storm flood. They were the square ones with a diagonal which I found out allows them to fold into an 18 inch protruding pyramid of metal .you never know what's under the surface of a flood.

We set off early this morning to do a car boot sale.
I know that the main idea of doing one is to declutter but I think I may have gone a stage further and un- decluttered ! I couldn't resist buying a bargain .

Have you ever collected shells ?

I bought a 75 mm one .

Lots of thunder before the storm got going but then it was just pretty constant lightning.
