Its cold too. Not moaning cos we need rain, but whenever I get 2 or 3
days
clear from work there is an obstacle, same for us all I know.

Anyone NOT had rain yet?

I was thinking, Dave, (based on last year) that if you announce plans
to start planting your Dahlias in the next week we'll get some rain
(well you will anyway). You don't need to actually plant them, just
make serious plans.

I wouldn't be too sure. We BOTH washed our cars the other day - zilch.

I've tried all the usual "tricks" - washing cars, cleaning windows,
watering the garden with a watering can (3-4 hours!), putting all my
power tools on the drive for a garage sort-out, an evening with the
lawn sprinkler on (had to do that to water in granular feed) - without
success. But the lesson of history is that whenever Dave plans
anything in his field, it pees down.

Even the sub-zero temperatures forecast haven't yet happened. The
lowest here was 1.2C a couple of nights ago and daytime temperatures
are still peaking around 20C despite the"official" weather stations
saying the max in this "area" has been low teens. Indeed, I was
getting so concerned that my thermometers might be faulty (all 3 of
them) that I bought a 4th but either that's also faulty or the other 3
are accurate.

Got a couple of cars to clean .............................. when it stops
raining ;-)
