Thursday night was floor party night, a floor party is like a dinner party but there are no chairs, tables, glasses, or even any carpet for that matter. Not even any means to cook so its take out food, ie, Kebabs and Dr Pepper, great fun although most were more interested in watching sky TV on a 14" portable TV balanced on a rickety table thing, not sure if they were watching TV or watching to see if the TV would fall off.
Handed the keys over to the new owners on Friday and the rain was horrendous, the garage was flooded, the back yard was waterlogged and i still managed to smile as we wished the new owner many happy years in their new house, then we jumped in the car and high tailed it out, leaving Swindon for ever....................or so we thought.
After spending 2 hours in Staples sorting out a DHL delivery and 10 mins in PC World buying 3 webcams, we tried to drive out of the City.
By now, most parts of swindon were flooded and a lot of it was actually under water. We queued for about 2 hours to get out of town and took another 7 hours to get to Birmingham.
I was bad but at least we were lucky and didnt get washed away, here were a lot of abandoned cars on the motorway and we saw one car with just the roof showing above the water, i couldnt get a pic because it was getting too dark....i think that takes "dipping your headlights" to the extreme.
We are staying in Birmingham till 28th (next Saturday) and we fly out on Sunday morning, in the mean time i am limited to dialup connection speeds and my email is playing up so i apologise now if anyone is trying to email me, everything should be back to normal once we get to the hotel in Lethbridge.
