Good heavens, I hadn't realised. Here's Sparky: smiley - dragon Thanks for the loan. I have no idea how to switch the fire off, though.

I'll be back later for smiley - cheesecake; there's a few things I need to do today.

Oh, I wasn't in the least upset smiley - biggrin. I just thought it best you know smiley - huh

Some very strange topics come up on the boards and it helps sometimes to have some idea who you are talking to. Not that you can be sure with anyone smiley - rofl

Didn't really think of that with the choice of name. There are so many woman sailing the world now, never mind the internet - yes, I know it's surfing smiley - surfer really, but I have followed some yachting events so it seemed a good idea at the time.

It's the final of our Restoration thingy tonight. I do hope we win. Please wish us smiley - goodluck

Not in the least offended, and not religious either which doesn't mean I don't believe in God, I just have my own way of thinking.

Thunder and rain promised for this evening but has not arrived yet. The last lot produced a lot of flooding. Very strange to see cars floating down the main shopping street smiley - doh. Lots of houses flooded out too smiley - sadface

I will see what I can do to send some your way, but I don't hold out much hope smiley - rofl

Perhaps I should be a smiley - witch or a smiley - wizard instead of a smiley - dragon and do some smiley - magic

No, I didn't see the cars floating, only the photos in the local paper, and hearing from friends in the area. Many houses and shops have been flooded and there looks to be more to come. We are half way up a hill, and the water rushes past us down to the river.

Fortunately we have a huge railway embankment between us and the river, but it has come up very high on occasions sweeping vehicles away in the torrent. Several roads go through the river (fords) which is find when water levels are low but disastrous when up to exhaust or wheel arches.

I tried to find pictures on the web but couldn't. Most unusual. Might look again later.

wow! well i'm glad you're safe. but i think i'd be pretty upset if it was my house that was flooded. luckily i live up on a mountain so i've got pretty much no worries in that regard. besides the fact that we dont really eer get flooding here...

smiley - somersault
