I think he just wanted to have a bath and go to bed, really. Bit late to start munching curry now - I'll suggest it to him for tomorrow. So long as I can't smell it!

Beats me why people think it's a good idea to spectate, when waves are crashing over sea walls. Wouldn't standing back be a rather smarter move?

Coastguards near Hull have been reporting people driving to the coast to take photos! Then needing help to get off the coast road; as if the coastguards haven't enough to do.

Handy thing here is you can view from the hills which overlook the sea front.

PN, don't think so. I've got BBC radio Suffolk on which is giving updates.

I thnk there's a ton of this in the workd of allergies. I read that loads of people only show the allergy when they know the allergen's present. It's the most odd part of immunology (or medicine in general).

!

I'm going through exactly this ATM, and its hard to know how much is psychosomatic and how much is just being more aware and not trying to 'carry on as normal' but rather 'indulging' a little. Because I just usually blunder on regardless.

Its very odd feeling.


E.g. Last night in a fit of arrogance I actually bought some preprepped stirfry veg and then i had .....a yoghurt. :j. and tbh have been more or less ok. Bwtter than on their cruddy white hread diet thats for bloody sure. I think they are talking out of their hats. (Have felt so
Good today, getting loads of housework done which made me pathetically happy!)


I didn't eat today, ( something the dietician also hates is the fasting business, but ......she wants me to eat white bread. I just feel in my bones I 'm gonna play it by ear and take good notes il think.

Because I don't eat much its quite easy to see what I have eaten.

I think I have what I had way back which they described as 'transient allergies" and sometimes I can and sometimes I cannot. I can tell with fruit on my lips usually or tongue,....they.....tingle.....:
It sounds nuts, I realise it sounds nuts. With the best will in the world I don't think I could get a very inert dry food to tingle on my litmus paper lips

1] It starts with a dribble, they're not 12' waves
2] We all think we're immortal
3] 'Everybody' is out, so you don't want to miss out
4] People want to stick stuff on youtube
5] Nobody's been caught up in a major event before, so don't realise how water can be unpredictable and move fast.

I have always loved storms. As a kid I used to try and run out into them. Lightening in the rain:eek: waves crashing in sou westers ots stunning, it is incredible because its not daily and its powerful.

Now I find it hard not to but accept my responsibilities mean I cannot. We are a curious breed, So e of us are more curious than bright and fail to make risk assessment on our curiosity.

Not many pics on radio ...

Try Twitter too ... although that was full of nobody's just tweeting that they were upset their favourite place was flooded..... and no actual information at all.

Also, scan youtube, search for Felixstowe then put them into date order.

You could try making stuffing .... with some flavours/spices (if they're OK).

Facebook is a wonderful thing, have had plenty of photos on there.

Whoever can invent a way of doing that will make a fortune.

It's hard not to think Darwinian thoughts about the stormchasers going to the coast:eek:
