Damn the Luck!

So the rain has made the Kelvin and its tributaries become coloured. I now have 2 folk to check the condition of the river for me. One of them lives right next to the Kelvin and is clued up enough be able to tell me whether it is high or low or coloured or whatever…….great. When Claire used to work in the hospital she was hopeless. I said “look at the colour of the water, see if its brown or tan or clear, look and see if it is high, does it LOOK like a raging torrent!. Look at the reeds at the side are they in the water , things like that, and report to me in the morning”
Aha I said to myself……im a genius!!!

In the morning when she came in I asked her how it was …“its flowing” she said.

The second person is an angler, it turns out he goes by one of the tributaries that I fish in the morning on his way to work. Mwa Ha Ha.

I astound even myself on my genius sometimes.
