Concerned (by sarah)
It is sheeting it down outside agian, raining so hard that visibility is pretty pour and I've been watching the waterfall become more viscous since about 7:30 this morning. I looked at the flood defenses we've put up and realised that half of them have slumped down during the night and are fat all use.
On top of that the poor old Highways Mantaince peeps were a bit too efficient and when clearing the road that runs past the end of our drive they managed to scrape away the 'sleeping police man' other wise known as that dam great lump that every body grounds their car on at the entrance to the drive. This is bad news as it was a very effective deterient of the two rivers that appeared instead of the road (seeing as we are at the bottom of a little vally and the road goes up and down the valley).
This means that water and rubble and leaf mulch and mud and probably the odd cow are now going to go zooming striaght down the drive way towards us and our megre, pathetic little defenses - this means if there is a repeat of Friday even more water will be spewing forth into our home - sigh.
