No sign here in Northampton, but I'm getting a headache and my ankle's getting stiff, so it could be only a matter of time.

Would be quite a relief. Bored.....................

No windows in my office but judging by the security camera monitor it's very grey here in Northampton.

It has been rain like there is no tomorrow here in Ascot for about 30 inutes, and is now only just starting to show signs of easing.

The whole carpark is covered in about an 1" 1/2 of water, and the guttering just could not cope with the amount coming down off the roof. Lets just say it is rather wet here!!!
