I advised No.2 son (lives in Wanstead) not to go to the cricket
yesterday but football instead (Wycombe away at Oxford). I see
even some football was called off down there!

I saw that Charlton's home game was abandoned at half-time yesterday
because of a waterlogged pitch. Their ground must be only a mile or two
away from Lawrence's home, so he might be reconsidering his ridicule of
the Met Office's yellow warning.
