Im utterly sick of wet weather. O.K its December, but we recently broke a record for rainfall in this country as 12" fell in 24 hours in our region. Most days it rains now. The ground is so saturated that a mornings down pour can burst the banks of our local river, cutting off the village. There have been landslides in several parts of the dale, and houses with no history of flooding have experienced water running down hill sides into them. Some water that's come up through house floor boards has been described as gin clear. That's very odd, as it is  obviously coming from somewhere deep under ground, presumably from an over flowing water table. Enough is enough now.

Self Regulation

After a whole Summer of my internet cutting out, new routers and BT visits to check my phone line, I have reverted to using a cable to my WIFI hub. O.K its a method that seems back in the dark ages, but at least my connection doesn't cut off now after 2 minutes. Problem solved. Of course my laptop must stop near the router, and that has its advantages as it regulates my online usage, which can at times otherwise get out of hand. Im not adverse to waking up in the early hours to post something that's on my mind. Im getting more sleep now, and I don't waste time first thing in the morning logging on sat in bed. All in all it is an improvement however hard that maybe to take !
