BYC Café

[aart]

Pipes all went back together easily....no leaks!

Rewarded with a delivered plate of perfect Tday Feast... and apple pie w/ice cream.

If day keeps getting any better, I might not know how to cope!
Fat, dumb, and happy....ibuprofen and nap soon.

Good evening Cafe.
I've made a pot of tea for tonight. However there is a rather nice home made crab paste and fresh soft white bread on the counter for those who are already sick of turkey.
A lot of rain here last night and today. More landslides here. Almost lost the duck pond with one slide.Much more rain and the whole place is going to be stting at the bottom of the track out of here. Thunder crashing away out there atm. Every now and then the rain comes down so hard it's painfull if it hits bare skin.
I'm on my thrid pair of trousers. I've just hung the wet muddy ones up outside. At this rate they'll get washed as well by the downpours.

But when will they dry?

Obviously the time has come to get the ark ready.

We experience a lot of downpours as well as the weather in general becomes more extreme with every passing year.

The last two years the extreme drought led to enormous loss of forage/fodder plants, people were forced into emergency slaughter of more than half of their livestock.

And of course the forest dieback is speeding up enormously: beech, birch, ash and fir trees.

When the sun comes out!

Arks are so old school. I was thinking more of a submarine.
Can't say if the weather now is any worse than it was say 30 years ago. According to the people who have lived here for generations on this mountain, it's been heading to the valley since it went up. Some bright spark called it natural errosion.

I expect this is why they don't have Tnaksgiving in the UK.

Maybe they have a better understanding of 'Thanksgiving' history than we do here, where it is really rather skewed?
