Day 679 & 680 (05 & 06/11/2011)

Yesterday should have been Bridgwater's day. It is a place that lives all year for the carnival, with tens of thousands of people coming not only from all over the UK but from all over the world to see it but unfortunately the torrential rain caused flooding and a large part of the river wall in the town centre to collapse a few hours before the start of the carnival. This had caused the carnival to be restricted. Then within a few hours a massive accident on the M5 a few miles away has left many dead and injured, with many families lives being changed for ever.

Lots of work to do this weekend and off to see Shappi Khorsandi & Jon Richardson at the Octagon Theatre in Yeovil.

Missed seeing my brother on his birthday yesterday as he was not well, but lets face it the writing was on the wall, even with the hat things are not looking good for him.

Update - Sunday 08:00 - The comedy was OK, funny but not great from start to finish. The trouble with comedians that you see and like from TV is that you see a heavily edited version, the best bits, which sometimes an hours live performance can not mask.

Saying that I had nice fish & chips before hand.
