Had to take the car today (again). I've never seen so much rain last for so long. It started about 11pm last night. The lightning was lighting up the sky. The rain has been torrential since then. We've had thunder and lightning off and on all day and there's quite a strong wind too. It's also quite cold. The police have closed off the town centre (never seen that happen before) and several roads in our town are also closed. One of our sales reps is stranded in another town as the main road back has been closed due to flooding.

I'm getting severely frustrated at not being able to cycle as much as I normally would. My poor bike thinks I've abandoned her

This is supposed to be summer
