happy days, it is absolutely pouring down, never thought I would be so glad to see it ;D
More. More please. ;D
Still no rain here and no sign of it. ::)
Had quite a heavy shower here in Enfield, north London but now it has stopped and sun is out, so off to the lovely allotment I go.
I wanted to finish my paths off today, but its been raining steadily here in Leicester all morning.
So instead of moving barrow after barrow of wood chips about I'm going to have to pop to my favourite nursery instead!
North Wiltshire's just had a couple of usefull showers, now the sun's trying to break through. Luverly stuff! Cheers, Tony.
We have rain... on and off... not sure we hvae enough yet to make the ground workable again... :-\
Just one brief but heavy shower at about 1.30 pm but sunny now.
Welcome but it needs to hiss it down for a week to have an effect on the garden.
Its hissing it down here!
One shower in about 6 weeks...it's starting to look desperate here. CLoudy today but nothing falling...
We've had quite a few heavy showers today and it's piddling down now, I wonder how wet Borlotti got, no laughing at the back there please. :P ;D ;D ;D
just had a shower sky is still black so hoping for more rain soon :)
It's been raining steadily since mid-morning here!
nothing here ...... yet .......
A few very brief light showers here everytime you think that there will be more it stops off.
Just enough to get the weeds excited.
sheet rain, thunder and lightning. to heavy just running off the ground not soaking in.
third heavy shower of the day here at the moment.
We need more of it the poor Farmers will be skint if they don't get their rain, :)
OK, Kev, went to Morrisons instead to buy lovely toilet paper, that him indoors eats, or whatever (24 rolls a week). ;D ;D Cooking dinner, and the sun is out so maybe a quick walk, or 2morrow. Sun is out now, but it always rains at 3 o'clock when children finish school, or it always rains on Monday when they have the steam engines, whatever in the Enfield show on the playing fields, normally a flood. Hopefully enough straweberries 2morrow for jam. We had hail today at 3 o'clock. Cats want to go out to do a poo. A day without the allotment is a wasted day.
We had some heavy showers this afternoon, but we need a lot more. A good thunderstorm would fix it, as long as it doesn't cause a flood.
I was sat in the car at 3 o clock outside the school and it was p#ssing down. :o
It rained here in desert conditions Wakering this afternoon. :o Just 30 mins worth but better than a slap in the belly with a wet fish. ;D
There wasn't a bl**dy spot here in the West Sussex dustbowl. Plenty of big, promising black clouds - (and a gale force sea 'breeze' :o) - but not a single bl**dy drop of beautiful rain. >:(
Butt nearly empty still. The hope of yesterday has faded and there is nothing more on the forecast horizon. The drought continues.

Almost exactly the same here Grandma, but we did have 1 lot of rain that lasted 5 minutes, made. And then nowt :-X
It absolutely belted down for an hour in Croydon at 6pm yesterday, and then eased off to a gentle shower for another couple of hours after that.
Him Indoors tells me it also rained from about 2am to just after 6am. Have never been so happy to see a rainy day. ;D ;D
OH was amazingly smug this morning, this is on account of me persuading him to water the allotment for me so that I could go out on the raz, resulted in him staying in and watching all recorded programs, leaving his socks on carpet, having fish'n'chips and going to be early...me - off to eat my body weight to combat slight hangover. ;)
Maybe if I ask him again it will rain? it could be the equivilant to the rain dance ;)
