Here Comes The Flood

Remorseless coverage on Sky News of the remorseless floods in the south of England. Watching the various journos wading through the rising waters is somewhat surreal at this safe distance, but it certainly brings home the reality of the horrendous mess so many are facing.

Not many happy thoughts about all this, I'm afraid, though we enjoyed watching shots of a group of kids in a boat grinning away. My guess is that they'll remember all this one day as a great adventure. And another very small cheerful spot, for me at least: I suddenly remembered one of Peter Gabriel's finest tunes, as assayed on the Frippster's brilliant Exposure. Mind you, the prescient quality of the lyric is more than a little unnerving, yes?
