Floods just down the road (literally)

[matgb]

What have I let myself in for? As of 15.50GMT today there were 113 flood warnings in the country. 60 of these were in West Yorkshire and 6 of them are in our little bit. Our local paper says: Brighouse submerged under torrent of water. Even the canal has burst its banks, flooding several local places of interest including the basement of Jennie's

After having seen Skipton and Silsden on the news at lunchtime I figured it was only going to keep coming downhill towards work - fortunately managed to scrounge a lift home at 4.30, just after the Leeds-Shipley and Leeds-Bradford lines were closed.

D'you actually work in Leeds then? I'm losing track of who's where currently, my brain is getting all filled up.

Fortunately, there are advantages to working from home.

No; I work in Saltaire and live in York. I spend as little time as I can in Leeds, passing through the station twice a day and stopping off for the odd bite to eat if I've been working late.

We caught Silsden on the news at lunch too! Rang Sarah from work, told her to put News 24 on, but she asked why first, so missed it the first time.

All these towns with strange names I'll have to get used to. Still, installing the Google Maps search plugin was something I'd meant to do ages ago...
