I use to listen to the news but there is so much bs that angered me so much that I've stopped listening to the news altogether. Starting to feel my old self again.

As a sideline I do bicycle and motorcycle maintenance and repairs. It's been very useful while I have been on covid furlough. 2 weeks ago I was contacted by someone who had got my number from another customer texted me wanting a bicycle repair. No problems we agreed a day and time to drop the bike off. I waited in on the afternoon agreed but no show or reply to my texts or phone call. An afternoon wasted.
At 12.36 today a text pops up from Mr No Show "are you in can I drop bike off now". I sent a short 3 word polite reply declining the offer of work.

Got a call earlier today, from the owner of the caravan and camping site in Norfolk, where I sited my caravan last summer.
The site, and his house, is flooded, and under three feet of water. He and his wife have had to move out, into rented accommodation, and it's going to be some time before things can be cleaned up.
Looks like I've lost my van then, but I can't check or do anything until the current Covid restrictions are lifted.
B*gger ! I was looking forward to getting down there at Easter, and setting up for the summer !!
Maybe I should have bough bl**dy boat instead - not a happy bunny !!

That sucks Terry. Maybe the water isn't that high where your parked and the water didn't get inside

It's Norfolk and most of the county is flatter than a Pool table.
Sorry to hear that , my friend.
I hope it has not been flooded fully causing its total destruction.
As already said you mate, absolutely gutted for you, will help out when we're able to get down there.

Unfortunately, the depth of three feet of water is where the 'van is located - the remainder of the site must be under four to maybe six feet of water, as it's lower-lying, near the river !
The pic below shows the van, at the same elevation as the owner's house, which is just visible behind the van, and the red arrow shows a height of approximately three feet, possibly a touch more.
I'm thinking that the only thing that can be saved is possibly some of the fittings, such as ridge, cooker etc, to be sold as scrap or spares, if not totally ruined by water. The rest, even if not under water, will surely be ruined by damp.

WORST WEBSITE EVER!
I have been notified that I will have to report for Federal Jury Duty in the middle of February. Looking at the 54 mile drive each way I found that I have no option but to use the toll roads. So I decided I would get an e-pass account rather than stop at all those toll booths and fumble for money.
I looked at the options on the website and decided that I would order a transponder that could be moved from car to car. I clicked on that option and they had me enter name, screen name, password, e-mail address - and the serial number of the transponder you were ordering. Uh, you are ordering a transponder and they want you to order the serial number of the unit you do not have yet? I assume that agency does not have a no-drug use policy; they ought to change that.
Okay, so if I can't order a transponder I'll get a sticker for the windshield. They ask for the same information, including your driver's license number. But the website says that my driver's license number is not a valid one! So much for that idea, too! I assume that agency does not have a no-stupid policy.

Bloody nose half the night, did not sleep well because of it, and the first thing spoken to me this morning by a co-worker was "You look like sh!t". Thanks forinforming me, I wouldn't have realized that I felt like sh!t without someone telling me!!!
