Not much happened during the day with steady rain, but now everything is saturated and river going up.
With another 7 hours of heavy rain predicted it could still get close.

One, possibly only, pleasure of long ✈️ travel is that for once I get to watch some films:
Warfare ****
Tornado **
Mr Burton *****
The Black Sea ***
Civil War ****
Solid work there by Alex Garland for the first and last, but quite grim too.

Sitting here having breakfast at my Philippine hotel and it has slowly dawned on my jet lagged brain that the plinky background muzac is a medley of #christmas songs. No Wham! yet…

Hallelujah - it’s raining plums (literally).
Maybe a quarter of the plum harvest off one tree this year - can’t keep up.
They are smaller than usual due to the #drought - probably a good thing as it would have broken tree.
