I'm in South Wales too. I have been trying to build a new shed all week.
I will be fitting pontoons,
I'm looking for a propellor to fit my brushcutter,
floating beds instead of raised beds,
everything is tethered to a stripey pole sticking out of the mud, just like
in Venice.

Jesus it is wet.
I have been out in waterproofs and wellies, spreading muck, digging spuds,
pulling carrots and plucking beans. It is starting to get quaggy though and
time to leave it for a while.

Here it comes again.
On the other hand everything is growing like mad.
The slugs are like anaconda's, one big sod reared up and hissed at me. I am
breeding an army of frogs and hedgehogs to deal with them.

I saw an enormous flock of sparrows yesterday, haven't seen anything like it
for years.

I don't want to arrive at my grave in an attractive and well preserved body,
hopefully I will be skidding in
sideways, Gin and Tonic in one hand -- Cigar in the other screaming YAHAAAY!
