Post-peak
Well, the river peaked last night, but not as high as feared. Huge chunks of Brisneyland are now distinctly soggy. We’re safe and dry here, but I haven’t been out for a walk yet to see how the streets around me are looking. Family are all well and dry and river seems to be receeding somewhat.

… one of those reasons may be that, without the dubious protection of our writer tag, the rest of society would lock us up for posts like this, in which we replace psychotic cats with sociopathic bears:
Peter wakes up to find the Spokesbear sitting on his chest, staring him in the face.
