At Eastbourne. Looking at the very impressive 9 mile long flood prevention programme, protecting over 18,000 homes. Testing electric heavy plant today.

Today I have mainly done sod all except look at a lively sea and the rain. Highly recommended.

Nice map showing theoretically how long it takes rainfall in Welsh rivers to arrive at the sea. From an hour or two to several days. In reality, travel times on the Severn in particular can be much longer due to multiple peaks and tributary inputs. By Robert Berry on LinkedIn

Indeed, up to 6 days sometimes. Great map for conveying the general concept.

Didn’t quite get the reaction this racist bigot was hoping for.
🚨Asda driver parks outside a house, opens the refrigerated van, then spends time on a prayer mat while the food sits there. If your delivery is late and warm, this is why.

2.3 million people who know exactly what sort of person you are. The comments are fantastic. You must be proud.

It’s clear Trump has learned absolutely nothing from the absolute carnage of the Midterms.

A week of deluge followed by a week without rain. Sums up recent trends - all or nothing! River flows also swinging surprisingly fast too.

They’re taking it well I see. Joy to watch.
Piers Morgan is a washed-up scumbag, he will always be a washed-up scumbag, and has always been a washed-up scumbag. And in two countries. His own country has gone to hell thanks to people who share his pathetic imbecility, but he spends his days trashing our country and platforming terror-loving Jihadis, while undermining our military and commander-in-chief.  He's another buffoon who has no problem with Iran having a nuclear weapon.

Reassuring news from America. An impressive 2 fingers given to Trump’s chaotic and corrupt sh1t show of a Presidency.

Day in the Valleys. Surprisingly cold, and very windy in the hills. Love cycling here.

Let’s hope so. Guess we’ll find out on Tuesday.
This woman represents most Americans btw. “It’s hard for me to even believe that anyone continues to support the lunacy of the president. I can’t even say his name. He is outrageously demented. He is sick and he is on his mission about power and greed and corruption. It is truly disgraceful. And for Americans to not be able to see what is going on is truly shocking. All of his cabinet, they are all corrupt. It is just disgraceful.” This is how every American should feel btw. This administration will go down as the most corrupt, the most divisive and one of the worst in history.

Goes a way to explaining why severe drought seems to appear rapidly now, despite wet preceding conditions. Water vapour pressure deficit is a measure of the atmosphere’s ability to suck water up from the ground. It’s nearly doubled in the last 40 years tosborn.substack.com/p/the-a…

Didn’t watch Traitors but really enjoying the gammon pile in on the charities chosen by the winners. Hilarious. Without outrage and anger these people would have nothing.

Sad news. Fortunate to see Patrick Stewart several times. His stage presence was something else.
