A very big day in politics with the exit of Blair and the rise of Brown. The Westminster Village is probably flooded with rumour of who is defecting, who will be in the Cabinet, and what the PM's wife will be wearing when she gets the milk from the doorstep in the morning.
Here in Yorkshire we are also experiencing a flood - but it is a real one. Half the County seems to be under water and it is a million miles away from courtly fun in Westminster. I sometimes wish I had the sense to get a job down there like a sensible careerist. Hey-ho.
But as I reflect on the excellent words of Blair & Brown, I can't help wonder if those people who say on the doorstep that they will not vote Labour "until you've got rid of Blair" will flock back to us in numbers. Or are these people non-voters who are Labour supporters who just can't think of anything more imaginative to get rid of you from the doorstep. May 2008 will tell.
