I'm with you Frank, the garden is a pond, but there was a terrible sea fret through the night in fact at 5am I couldn't see across the road with it so really thick, raining now and the wind is getting naughty so I guess it's about to land hey ho here we go again.
OMG - I've seen the news, and great swathes of the country seem to be inundated or will be imminently! I just hope that all of you in vulnerable areas are able to take care, and take preventative action against flash flooding if necessary.
It's raining here, and the local weather has put part of our region (fortunately well to the south of us) on Red Alert.
We're off on a week's s break to Cornwall tomorrow. I'm looking out me flippers and scuba gear, sou' wester and wellies. Ought to take care of it. After all, "they" say there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes and preparation. (Try telling that to some poor people in the painful throes of clearing up the mess).
Oh, and we're near the thousand posting mark. David - over to you for the honour?
Our local Beeb weatherman tells us we can expect the equivalent of a normal July's rainfall in the next 24 hours. As I type, all tarted up for night out, but going in 4x4.
Thanks for the good wishes David. Fingers etc etc crossed re weather!
We're not setting out until the afternoon, so we'll take a raincheck (geddit???) on whether or not to delay the journey by a day if necessary.
And thank you weed for reminding me about the raspberries - they're beginning to ripen, so I'll pick and freeze what I can tomorrow morning, and instruct son in the complicated arts of doing the same in my absence. I would show him how to water things, but in the circumstances . . . .

Maybe worth noting that the shelves of slug pellets at my local Wicos were empty, with a notice saying 'awaiting new stock'.

Look on the bright side, SV - he'll probably have lines of raspberry jam waiting for you when you get home.
David!
Or - to be Wimbledon relevant, "You cannot be serious!"
rain with scattered showers
