through in the night but little sign of it doing so at nearly
10.30am.

Fairly horrible here too, no chance of getting out on the garden today.

It did even get here to the east coast to about 9 this morning. So
much for it being gone by midday.

We were promised it for all day, so I didn't have any expectations.

Just rain here, heavy enough to be miserable, not heavy enough to be
fun. Not like the thunderstorms we've just had in Greece - wonderful
forked lightning displays over the sea and adjacent islands while still
warm enough to be sitting on our (covered) balcony with wine. Paddling
through a six inch deep torrent to get to our car the other side of the
street.

I do hope that the locals moved in time the pigs that they keep in the
overflow channels under the new road ;-)
