Lincolnshire, Monday evening. We had a splash of rain friday night,
and this evening, after I had watered the plants, a few spots started
to fall. It turned to gentle, steady, rain which has been going on for
about 3 hours now.

Nice.

We had a bit for a short time but not enough to make a significant
difference to anything. Mostly the roof water evaporated, using the heat
from the tiles. But it's been cool so that was nice.

Exactly the same weather here but even a few miles away they have had much
more rain.
The last semi decent rain was two weeks ago on a Sunday night, just as we
were starting to eat outside. Much thunder and lightning but not very much
rain.

Heavy rain here, I'm told. Haven't had any real rain for weeks - not
even when all around were having thunder.

Reservoirs still full, though :-)

In Leeds.

We had that at the beginning of the month but nothing since. On Friday a son
was driving home from Huddersfield but said he was on the edge of the rain
belt all the way so never got wet. Today is the first day we've eaten
indoors for weeks and that only because it was a bit cold.

Rain, what's that, haven't seen any here since May, good job the water
companies rely on desalination plants. Every time a se a weather
forecast that says cloudy, or even rain, I never believe it, it just
turns out sunny and hot again. BBC say today will be cloudy, but
there's not a cloud in the blue sky.

Heavy enough rain in the Todmorden area to refill the waterbutt and ensure
the raised beds and plant pots are wet rather than mildly damp.

Not heavy enough to flatten all the plants that managed to live through the
storms at the beginning of the month, thank goodness.

Oddly the plants here haven't been been flattened but the soil is mud.

And we all knew you were there!

Argh! Time to dig out my tin-foil hat and stop you spying on me with your
