This is the same view 5 years ago on Christmas Day when it was a little... ahem... wetter

Cover your ears the rest of you; this is going to be loud as it needs to reach Morocco:

OY! ADAM! @Tidgy’s Dad! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ohhh, I am thinking of the poor people that had to suffer under the flood and the damage the water makes ! That was no happy Christmas at all.

It wasn’t unfortunately. We have a flood barrier upstream of the town which closes and floods the fields if necessary to keep the town dry. That night we had so much rain that the barrier had to be opened to stop it bursting

I'm just back from "Christmas Morning" at my daughter's house. Her son, his wife and their two boys (ages 4 and 3 ???) always go to her house and spend the night Christmas Eve so they can be there bright and early Christmas morning for when Santa has come. (They live in a small town about 45 miles away) And I always go over as soon as I can in the morning. Today I got there at about a quarter to six. They were already all finished opening their presents and what a mess!!! It was pretty cute about the boys. Their mom allowed them each to wrap a present for me, Great Gramma Fawn (Yvonne), and Cody, they youngest one, was so eager for me to open my presents. He just kept pushing them at me and telling me to open them. Cody gave me a pretty little acrylic box with a built in acrylic bow on top (????) and Cyrus gave me a mug with a picture of Santa Claus on it. So I guess I'm going to have to figure out what to put in the box so next time they come over I can have it displayed so they know I really, really like it. But I'm really bah humbug, and I'm very glad it's over with. Now it's time to get back to my normal day and get the tortoises' food ready.

Well Richmond, VA has logged its rainiest year on record since they started keeping records since 1872. Not a record I ever hoped to see broken-it sucked literally!

As did this entire area...DC and Maryland and points north. But hey, it’s been nice the past few days...with sunshine forecast for tomorrow. Our back garden is slippy slidey yucky muddy...

Merry Christmas everyone!
