Well, I almost kept that resolution to keep things on My London Diary<\/em> more or less up to date, but then really messed things up by forgetting about the last day of the month for a couple of weeks. In mitigation it has been a rather busy time for me, with a real ferment of protest as well as a few other things, and February itself was rather a mess.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not least that for 13 days we lived without any mains drainage in the house which caused a few problems and certainly made us appreciate how much we rely on such services. But we were lucky to avoid actual flooding and the water in our street didn’t come into our house. The river level here now is 1.91 metres – 6ft 3 and a bit inches – lower than at its peak. There are still places around where you can see the mud it has left behind – and clearing up is still going on and will be for months in homes that were flooded and at least one local basement is still having to be pumped out. February isn’t a month we will forget quickly around here, though I failed to take any memorable images of the floods.<\/p>\n

Most of my work was as usual in the centre of London, still protected for the moment by the Thames Barrier from tidal flooding, and possibly by the lack of dredging in upstream areas like ours from flooding by the Thames. Getting on the train to London seemed often to be going to a different world where roads were not blocked and toilets still flushed.\u00a0 Anyway, here is the complete list.<\/p>\n
