Hi Guys
We're really shocked to see the pictures of
the flooding. Have your homes been affected? Sincerely hope not.
Be careful out there!

Fortunately not. As we occupy the literal, if not moral, high ground, they
have passed us by. The only significant problem being that I was on a double
shift during the flood so got soaked going to work, coming back from work,
going back to work and coming back from work again. Washing machine is waving
a white flag as we speak.
Working again to day so not been out and about much but the Reporting Team
inflated their rubber dinghy and went paddling about town so might have a
couple of piccies for the weekly news bulletin.
Apart from the flooding a lot of Downlong has no gas (and none likely for
three days!) so most sane businesses closed for the day. Consequently the
Sloop stayed open and we have been experiencing the delights of trying to cook
without the minor technicalities of any deep fryers ..... or an oven ..... or
a grill. Laugh? I thought we'd never start.
Trying desperately to drink myself to death tonight as I am on breakfast and
lunch tomorrow and not exactly looking forward to the prospect. If I succeed,
will you please, with the assistance of the other Spookists, try to ensure
that the Reporting Team go to good homes.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've just got to pop down to the hardware store for
some meths!

Dear Paul
What a bummer! Floods, and no gas. I expect
it will be plague and pestilence next. Glad to hear your property wasn't
affected though.
We once had to go without power for a few
days and living in the sticks, there was not even a cafe to go and sit in for
a cuppa, so I think I can appreciate something of what you're going through. I
hope they can restore the gas quickly and the water recedes to where it should
be.
Should you now be dead from alcohol poisoning
I could easily accommodate most of the team except for hedgehogs (big badger
population locally and, as you probably know, they don't mix). Perhaps they
could go to the brassica obsessive family in Lincs.
If you are still with us and have run out of
meths I could send some sloe gin.
Liz.

Still, here I'm afraid. Sloe gin doesn't sound like it will do the job, have
you got the quick variety?
Oh well, off to attempt breakfast.
PS. Don't worry about the hedgehogs the Sonics are well hard and can beat
badgers with one paw tied behind their backs.
PPS. I don't think Andrew and Helen are 'obsessed' with brassicas as such. I
think they just have a naturally healthy fear of the evil they represent! I
wouldn't like it if there were armies of them camped all around me.
