More flood warnings? Tidal waves up estuarine rivers? Tidal surges in the North Sea? Good job I moved away from the east coast line and tidal rivers isn't it. Oh wait...

I'm pretty sure I'll be fine even though I'm about 200m away from the banks of the Humber. And if it all goes drastically wrong - at least I've got a third floor flat eh?

I'm in the new flat and I've even got a lounge that hasn't got boxes in any more! It's been lovely weather this weekend for a change so even the Humber was looking quite pretty.

I'm off to Hull in a minute (I've got my waterproof coat to take with me) as I'm meeting the relocation woman from work tomorrow to try and find somewhere to rent. I'm screwed if I want anywhere furnished (so unfurnished it is) as so many people have had their houses flooded there (allegedly nearly one in five people) there's no furnished rented ( Read more... )
