On a personal note have been enjoying making the most of "Have bus pass will travel" and the lovely sunshire, so visited Capel Manor where a friend was exhibiting her pictures and then went to see the gardens and for the first time got beyond the Abbey to see the High Street in Waltham Abbey where the National Photographic Exhibition had taken up residence.
Also managed to travel home much of the way by bus from Kentish Town where I had lunch with a friend and also caught up with another friend in town and went to see South Pacific, which was terrific. And The Broxbourne Green Party joined in with the Harlow Green Party quiz night and our team won! So that was a bit of fun.
On a much more worrying note, I looked up from teaching the other day only to see a huge plume of big black smoke. I tried alerting next door and my tenant so that they could phone the fire brigade as it looked so serious, but neither responded. Luckily, or so it seemed by the end of the lesson it had died down, but that therefore means that actually it only took about 40 minutes for a house to be destroyed and its neighbours fire damaged.
About an hour of rain only 4 days later were enough to flood my street. So we have gone from blazing sunshine and burned out houses to flooding. Climate change is well and truly happening locally. I think I need to increase my insurance if nothing else.
