Default Rain!

I've spent all afternoon watering the vegetable garden. Weather forecast
said "possibility of light rain this evening", so I thought I'd better
water it since the ground was bone dry. I'd just finished when a big
black cloud came over and dropped an inch of rain over twenty minutes
accompanied with enough sparks in the sky to run a power station. Such is
life. I've never seen it rain so hard. It has even washed a rut in my
gravel drive which became a temporary stream.


All the fault of Glastonbury... It'll be heading that way now I would
imagine ;-)


Did you hear the weather forecast just before 1pm on Radio 4 today?
Tomasz Schafernaker made an unfortunate slip of the tongue when talking
about how muddy Glasto could be following the rain
