Yeah, I'm not quite as cheerful atm as usual - must be the approaching  
bus pass day.

There's certainly not a lot of water in the UPF this week, but I don't  
seriously think that's going to lead to open war between the residents  
of West Derbyshire and East Cheshire; maybe they should reinstate the  
stop lock at Marple

I've just been struck by the accounts of most of the world's major  
river systems (like the Yangtse and the Mississippi/Missouri) being  
seriously depleted already.

I know, I'll just pour myself another glass of this McGuigan's Black  
Label, that'll help...
