Hi Jan,

Good to hear from you.

It's a bit weird to think that we, as a species, have actually fscked the climate. I suspect we will be seeing a lot more of this type of thing for years to come.

Just wanted to say that I hope that everyone in, or who has friends and/or relatives in, areas affected by the current floodings, hears good news. Hoping everyone is ok.

The images on TV are horrendous.

Stay safe everyone.
