I'm currently travelling at just under 200 miles an hour to London on a swish newly refitted mallard class train complete with WiFi on my way to Hackday.
What makes this journey different I'm sitting in a comfortable seat and its a smooth ride (so my back while hurting is not killing) my laptop is plugged in, my phone has switched to their base station maintain a phone link even in tunnels, and oh yeah I have the internet to keep me company on my nearly 2 hour journey.

Just passing out of the edge of the lincolnshire wolds (a hill range) and onto the edge of the cambridgehire fens (flat land very flat). The sun is even out but given I'm leaving flood mayhem behind for a weekend, I might be going home to a pond I live in a valley which is nicely protected but every where around us is flooded

we are very lucky in the UK while we do get nasty storms they are far between and normally a lot of warnings are issued, etc this caught everyone by surprise, and so the various river defences were not put in to use till it was to late.
Still as I say very unusual here guess we are not use to it
