It's just a day old and it has already turned into a wildlife habitat. ;o)
I completely failed to take a shot from the Chesterton side to show the bridge as it is now above water also on the bit that's usually above grass but the office windows were filthy...

If I didn't know better I'd have said that fourth one was a piccy of a marina somewhere on the coast!

I can just imagine the yachts tying up...

Hehe.
It's only a matter of time until a riverboat or a rowing boat loses its way...

And soon, from that!

I did once see a yacht making a bid for freedom towards the Seven down the embankment from the M5 hard shoulder...

Actually, it went back a bit. This morning our car park (underneath that white building in the fourth shot) was half flooded, in the evening, the water retreated to the edges.

The bottom floor of it does have nobody living in it, because of exactly this eventuality. But yes, I am going to stop looking wistfully at those flats when I walk past now.

No I'm not, in summer I will still look up and say "*sigh* balconies".

A balcony with a view of the lake! Mooring for your boat!
