    There have been huge storms heading toward where I am all day, just before they get here they fizzle out about 1/2 mile down the road!!🤬
    All I have is a damp patio and just enough drizzle to turn the coat of dust on my car to concrete....

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    We got the thunder, but no rain!
  • Had a good little wander around in the middle of the downpour - felt free 🙂
  • I think 'damp patio' sums us up.

    It’s been raining here (properly; the good stuff) for about 3.5 hours. 

    I’m so happy I could cry. 

    40 days we’ve been without it. 

    I’m currently laid in the bath listening to it. 

    Aaaaaaaah…..

    We had a small amount, was hoping for more. Filled all the watering cans so I could fit more in the butts, but they never filled up.

    Skye running out of water! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65940366 Given the reputation of the NW of Scotland being one of the wettest places in the UK this is astonishing. My own memories of Skye are of almost constant rain.

    Proper rain … much needed … app says it’s likely to carry on until midnight 🙏

    To my amazement the rain that was forecast for this evening actually materialised, 5.5mm when I checked the gauge an hour or so ago :)
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
  • Been absolutely pelting down here. I imagine the water butts will be filling up. What a relief.
