They forecast "scattered showers" for us every day last week.
There were none.
It rained here last evening; a few drops on my window but not enough
to show on the paving.
I just want t good deluge - at night please!

Sorry, there's just too much in this post to digest. I can work out
"showers", even "scattered" at a push but I'm not sure what a "deluge"
is. Then you say "rained". I think the correct spelling is "reigned"
but is it proper to refer to Her Maj as an "it"? Anyway, the Court
Circular makes no mention of her being in Bristol recently.


I am wondering if you are referring to "precipitation" but I don't
even remember what that is properly. It's just a big word I read
somewhere. I recall it was preceded by "lack of".


As to "drops on your window" do you mean something like the little
bits of water that hit the window when I'm using the sprinkler on a
patch of newly seeded lawn?

Well, I now have more permanent spots on my window, made by a bird! *I
shall have to wait for some sky-water to wash it off. *Could be a long
wait!

If the sun gets right tomorrow, I'll try to photograph a rather
colourful streak on the lounge window here. Not the usual white splash
with dark bits but a mix of red and blue hues.

As to washing it off, I'll go with your recommendation and see if the
local supermarkets sell this "sky-water" you mention. Is it good for
getting general dirt of windows as well as bird poop?
