Where were you when Cork got flooded?

Twas quiet the site!

Twas quiet the site!

I was in the village, thinking it was a great idea to run over there when the electricity in Vic Mills went off. Although it probably was in the end! It was a fun night/morning. Playing games, belittling people,eating bakewell and being one of the first to start leaving the village. Desperate times………….

Apparently it was the worst flooding in living memory. I hope it gets better soon and everything is fixed to like it was before.

The photos tell it all. :)

Oh, and a video.

Ice-packs the order of the day?

The roof closing

The roof closing

Wimbledon has seen practically no rain this year and its kind of disappointing. Everyone wanted to see the roof closed and in use on center court. But with temperatures like the ones we would see at the Australian open, many players have ice packs around their necks at change of ends. Could the roof be used today if play just gets too hot? After all these years of playing being stopped because of rain, surely it would be the ultimate irony!
