    Only if you have someone waiting on the drive, socially distancing with a 3 year old I'm afraid @B3 .  Worth a try though if you can find a willing volunteer  :D

    Never heard of Simpson sky.  Sounds unpleasant: the Simpsons are all yellow, aren't they?

    I want some rain and everyone else getting some is making me very envious.
    Yes, we've had a couple of showers, but they've lasted a few minutes and the pavements are barely wet. Precisely nothing has arrived in my water butts. 

    @LG_  It was what a friend of ours calls a "garden teaser".

    I had to look that one up @josusa47 !  Not familiar with that family.

    This might be coming your way though @B3

    given up for now, going to make another cuppa, this is 'proper' British weather!  Now you get it, now you don't.......

    Blue sky with cotton wool clouds like at the beginning of the Simpsons

    Ooh it just rained moderately hard for about 3 minutes. Then stopped... But it's starting again. Oh the excitement! I credit my teenage daughter, who left for an 8 mile walk about 5 minutes before it started. Now I'm in a quandary - happy about the rain or sad about the soggy daughter?

    Should have done that - it stopped again, and now it's sunny. Grrr.
