Our thoughts and prayers remain with you folks.
Few know the devastation that flooding can bring. It doesn't take a wall of water to destroy lives, and rising waters can be quite damaging!
Good to hear that people are joining spirits, though.
Amazing how a disaster can bring people together!
Hang in there!

How about a UK joke to liven up the mood

Dolly Parton and Queen Elizebeth died on the same day.

they both got to heavens gate at the same time.

St. Peter said what makes you both think you should be in heaven?

Dolly was showing ample cleavage and said won't this make me good enough to enter?

The Queen took a swig on Perrier water from a bottle she had and spit it in a toilet nearby and flushed it.

St. peter told the Queen she could enter, but not Dolly.

Dolly said, why does she get to go in, but not me?

St. Peter said--
















A Royal Flush beats a large pair

Well a lot of places are getting back to some level of normality, although many people will be still be affected by this in some shape or other.

On a lighter note I thought I would post this quick youtube clip which is rather funny. The guy had his camera on just at the right time & it featured in our national tabloid paper "The Sun".
