It's official - the weather has gone mental. According to the tabloid newspaper front pages that I saw during my brief foray into the wilderness that is outside, today is the wettest day for 50 years. Which I can believe. It's not that the rain is really, really heavy, it's just that there's so a
lot of it. Of course, being in good old Blighty, everything's flooded. The footpaths, the roads, steps, fields. Getting to the shop (which is a four minute walk away) was like an obstacle course. Jump, step, jump, edge, hold umbrella tighter, jump, jump, walk.
To top it all off, the University sent around this wonderful e-mail a few hours ago:
The University's drainage is system is unable to cope with the continuing amount of heavy rainfall. Surface and Ground Water runoff is at a level where it has started to enter the foul sewerage system, placing an additional disposal load on the Sewage Pumping Station. Sewage levels are at their maximum.Ew, ew, ew. They're requesting that we not do any of the following: wash the dishes, wash clothes, shower or use the toilet. *looks around* Yeah, that's not going to happen, University. First of all, I've already had a shower today, and second of all, when I need to pee, I need to pee. And then I need to wash my hands. So shove it. Not my problem if the place floods with sewage. I live on the first floor :p
In less disgusting news, I've become a bit obsessed with Ryan Reynolds.
