Great stuff Jolly.
Great copy of Pete's style but it never quite looks right playing high E string down?

What dastardly punishment. Has that man no compassion in his bones at all? A fate so much worse than that Pp could ever hope to manage with only a whip.
While I live on a (really) large hill I am a prisoner of it today. 3" of rain (8 cm) in 6 hours and no sign of slowing!!!
The forecast was for 6" over today, Sunday, and Monday but we may get all 6 today
with two more days of rain to follow!!!
All roads out of here are flooded. It's a good thing the Hill of 100 Crosses is closed for the winter...

We sympathise, Tree -
we've got a 'flood alert' where I am, that's fairly standard,
but it's really bad in the north of England again,
'severe flood warnings: risk to life' -
places in Cumbria that were flooded at the beginning of December
(and in some cases have been flooded a couple more time since)
are bracing themselves for yet more - but worst affected this time
are Lancashire, including much of Greater Manchester,
and Yorkshire, North and West, including Dorothy's Leeds
(but she's well away from the floodplain).
Take a look at what's happening to this 200 year old building:

Keep safe, optimally keep dry but I will settle for safe.

Christmas Day saw the evacuation of 5 small seaside towns in Victoria (southern Australia for those who don't know our geography) as bushfires threatened. As of last night 116 houses had been destroyed though no lives lost.
Last week there were serious fires about an hour north of these latest ones with a couple of lives lost and just a month ago there were deaths in both Western Australia and South Australia in what is probably the earliest start to our bushfire season ever.
Pp lives in the north in Queensland where 85% of a state multiple times the size of Texas is declared drought strickened.
There is a cyclone (hurricane) watch up in the Gulf of Carpentaria with a hope that it might bring 20 or 30 inches of desperately needed rain to the inland north of Pp's state but it looks like petering out into an annoying low that promises much but delivers little. A few coastal towns in the far north did get 10 to 15 inches with some minor flooding on Christmas Eve but that was just a proverbial drop in the bucket.
So Pp does hope those in the Northern Hemisphere stay safe but spare a thought for those Down Under where droughts are now longer and deeper and fire seasons worse with hotter and drier summers broken only by extreme floods such as those of 2011 and 2013.
