    Oranges
    Apparently the colour orange got its name from the fruit, not vice-versa https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/29942/which-came-first-orange-color-or-orange-fruit.

    We've had 2mm of rain that wasn't forecast when I checked this morning  :). Every little bit helps, particularly with the hose pipe ban starting tomorrow.

    We had a couple of inches of useful rain. A nice cool breeze now. Good to pretend things are normal for a while. Nothing forecast for the foreseeable. RTBC the forecasters are rarely right.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Well, now I'm envious of you people who've had hours/inches of rain!
