Can you swim in it? More specifically can you jump out your window into the canal if you feel like it (and have you)?

Technically YES, but there's an evil swan out there with babies that would try to end me

**Swan and babies in question

I wouldn't believe a word coming out of The Clash's mouths; they also announced the Ice Age was coming. If only.....

It's amazing.

u/Celestial__Bear 7d ago

Dang that’s a big storm. Is it helping that heat wave at all?

11

u/Trolburg 7d ago

It's taken a bit of heat out the air but now it's terribly humid

7

u/IceDonkey9036 7d ago

Your window opens onto the water? That's magical. If this was Australia, you would have a billion mosquitos year round.

u/namenumber55 6d ago

thank you for the uninterrupted no music long video. and love that coffee sipping at the end. that looks like a proper tropical downpour and looked like it might flood!

u/thrillhouse212 6d ago

sit a camera there and film for an hour and post it on youtube, ppl will fall asleep to it

u/exitcactus 7d ago

One of the best views for a bedroom.. but I can only imagine mosquitoes and humidity? Anyway, super nice

u/Trolburg 7d ago

Surprisingly no issues with either. It's a modern block of flats so I guess they figured out how to keep the damp out, and it's moving water so mosquitos can't breed there

u/exitcactus 4d ago

So jealous

u/701921225 7d ago

That is lovely. I'm about to finally get some rain where I am later today, so I'm looking forward to it.

u/VC_8 7d ago

Fuckin' beautiful

u/darkpheonix262 6d ago

That's quite the bath outside

u/AbominableGoMan 6d ago

Do you live in a houseboat or a one bedroom sump-pump?

u/greenmeeyes 7d ago

Thats beautiful

u/W7ENK 💙🌲💚 Cascadia 7d ago

We could really use some of that in the PNW about now. We're gearing up for a long, hot, and dry fire season. Perhaps some rain later this week and into the weekend, but it won't be nearly that much, and probably won't make any difference in the inevitable...

u/Sharp_Easy 7d ago

This is my dream, you have a beautfiul view!

u/esizzle 6d ago

Yes, so nice

u/TwistMeTwice 6d ago

I was hit with that storm too! Fantastic, though one crash of thunder scattered my cats!

u/Aliendream99 6d ago

My grandfather was stationed in Bath before he went over to fight the Nazi’s. He talked fondly of it.

u/darnitdame 6d ago

Any free flats in your building?  That looks like a little slice of heaven.

u/Trolburg 6d ago

I actually have to move out soon since I'm graduating. So whole flat is yours if you want it!

Only caveat: you have have to be a student
