Two dramatic events unfolded this month so far
The anti-penultimate episode of David Tennant's Doctor. And the real life Lake District under attack from rain and flood.
Bridges destroyed, fatalities - three, a thousand bridges under structural review, shops and newsagents ruined apart from the top-shelf mags.
Water pushing over structures that have slept for hundreds of years never with such challenge.
Pushing, not relentlessly, a day or two is enough to destroy every business and jeopardise every bridge.
The Doctor said it best in Tennants' breathy tones.
Water is patient.
Water just waits.
It wears down the clifftops, the mountains, the whole of the world.
Water. Always. Wins.
