The stuff in the hold was mostly display equipment and spare picture frames. Still worth a lot of money though and will be hard to replace. <BR/><BR/>Hi Tim,<BR/><BR/>Yes, we just heard on the news that it'll be 14 days before you have water again. That sounds aboslutely crazy. Things must be tough already without that little gem thrown in on top. I hope they come up with some sort of contingency soon. There must be something they can do!<BR/><BR/>Hi Old Cheeser,<BR/><BR/>Karen and I are pretty convinced this is all down to global warming too. We're beginning to wonder if this will be the sign of summers to come: a monsoon-like rainy season. The long range weather forecast for our holiday doesn't look brilliant but at least if there are floods in Cornwall it won't be my responsibility to clean up after it!<BR/><BR/>Hi Rol,<BR/><BR/>That may well be on our list of things to do. I love watching falconry displays so I'd certainly be very entertained by them!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-90642858131950861432007-07-24T17:02:00.000+02:002007-07-24T17:02:00.000+02:00Go see the Cornish Birds of Prey!Go see the Cornish Birds of Prey!Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-11910098656788992592007-07-24T14:43:00.000+02:002007-07-24T14:43:00.000+02:00Sorry to hear about the water problems! Although y...Sorry to hear about the water problems! Although you say you got off fairly lightly I'm sure it's still a worry and a pain. Glad to hear that the paintings didn't get wrecked though. <BR/><BR/>I saw the news last night and the devastation is pretty vast. Sounds selfish but it makes me thankful that I'm not caught up in it like all those poor people in Tewksbury and so on. Although we have the Thames in London the central part hasn't really been affected. Anyway I swear that global warming has had a hand in this whole thing - look at what a cr*p summer it's been so far.<BR/><BR/>Anyway have a lovely and well deserved break in Cornwall!Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-73739208690540014542007-07-24T14:40:00.000+02:002007-07-24T14:40:00.000+02:00Happy Paper Wedding Anniversary, Karen and Steve, ...Happy Paper Wedding Anniversary, Karen and Steve, and hope you both enjoy your meal together tonight! Think of it as one you won't forget!!<BR/><BR/>As for the floods, I'm in Gloucester, a few miles from the city centre where the bowsers are empty but have just managed to obtain half a dozen two-litre bottles of water from Sainsbury's car park!<BR/><BR/>The biggest pain is not being able to flush the toilet (apart from the BBC sending us Kate Silverton!) and it'll be a fortnight before we have running water again!!<BR/><BR/>So far, no power cuts, thankfully, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this message! If I don't get online again, I hope you all enjoy your week's holiday. Have fun and stay safe.TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-56040809295087688142007-07-24T12:30:00.000+02:002007-07-24T12:30:00.000+02:00Always the art student , my daughter wants to know...Always the art student , my daughter wants to know if anything of worth was damaged(works of Tracey Emin not considered of worth).I hope you enjoy your night out and the rains ease off for your holiday.MOTHER OF MANYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555514242369474271noreply@blogger.com
