Not really. I waited for rain all last year. A 15 month drought finally ended in mid December and then we had 2 years' worth of rain in the next 6 months. Nearly 3 weeks of heatwave and we feel as dry as last year.

My pond is full of green hair. Does blanket weed feel like strands of polyester? The stuff I have isn't very blankety - it doesn't float, more like squeaky doll's hair that grows at a vast rate of knots.

What If I bought the most wonderful jumper I had ever seen; it fitted perfectly; I loved It?
What if I wore it day and night for a month?
I would certainly have got fed up with it by then (ignore hygiene issues - this is a what if)
What if it was a tattoo and I would have to wear for the rest of my life?
