Floods bring chaos

TWO people - including a boy of 13 - have died in Sheffield as we were hit by the worst flooding seen in years. Parts of Sheffield city centre are underwater and the Environment Agency has issued severe Flood Warnings in Rotherham, Kilnhurst, Brampton and Chesterfield as the Rivers Don and Rother have swelled to within inches of bursting.

I think I will be swimming into work today!!...yesterday I was furious bcos of the severe weather conditions. The city had gone into complete chaos! No trains/trams, power loss, traffic jams, severe flooding, the whole city had come to an halt. it was like a scene from a movie (is this the start of the impacts from global warming do U think? - it does make me think this). Why why is this freaky condition happening in June????

I was meant to meet up with Richard and Co after work yesterday but his belated birthday gathering had been cancelled. Initially it was supposed to be dinner at No1 (the buffet place) but then changed to TGI Fridays, but bcos the Meadowhall area was hit by flooding and traffic jams, the whole gathering thing was cancelled (hope Richard wasn't too gutted, but we'll meet on the 8th!:). I didn't leave work till 6.45pm and ended up having a Nandos with Candy, I might as well as I would had only been stuck in traffic if I'd gone home...Candy is completely hooked on their chicken wings (U and Suz should have a contest and see who can eat the most chicken).

Well, it wasn't until 9pm till I attempted going home. I hope people who had trouble going home/abandoned/stranded/homeless are feeling slightly better today...post me in your flooding experiences!!! (what happened to you? how did U manage to go home? did U get home!?) share your stories with me and others.

CinDz is furious bcos of the rain!

Rain, rain, go away,
DON'T Come again another day.

Rain, rain, go away.
DON'T Come again another day.
Little Cindy wants to play,
In the meadow by the hay.

Rain, rain, go to China,
Never show your face again.

Rain, rain, pour down,
But not a drop on HeyTown.

Rain on the green grass,
and rain on the tree,
And rain on the housetop,
but don't rain on me!!

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again on a dried up day.

Rain, rain, go to Spain,
And remain there permanently.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come on a day when CinDzzz having a bad hair day!!!

World Environment Day

Hey, it's World Environment Day today...make a pedge and do your bit for the environment, www.sheffieldismyplanet.com. I was handing out postcards this lunchtime to get Sheffielders to make a pledge and to inform them the impact of doing their little bit to help our suffering world. In the city centre today, our company organised this big event where we had an ice sculpture on Fargate (near Virgin Megastore) in the shape of a globe to represent our world. The sculpture is still left outdoors, slowly melting to represent the impact of global warming...it really is a worthwhile masterpiece for you to look at!! (i'll try to take/get hold of some pictures for you towners).

Ahhh....finally met up with daniel, leon and Candy today too for dinner...Last exams for the guys today (luck? U two don't need luck, I can aready predict what the grades will be:)...hopefully we will meet up again soon. So far the weeks been eventful, everyday my days are! Thursday I've planned to meet candy again, and next week hopefully some exercise for the summer, badminton anyone? ahhhh....I'm kinda hooked on Facebook at the moment too, finally got pestered into signing up on it, so far so good, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep this up to date but hopefully a good/useful/helpful way for 'old' friends to keep in touch...PESTER ME!...

OK, sleep time now...I have some thoughts too, random thoughts, but my fingers are too tired to type, it's past 11pm.....I need my BED!!!
