Hi,

Earlier in the year I 'splashed' out buying a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses,
since when it has been mostly cloudy and hardly stopped raining. Would it
now be a good idea to buy a decent umbrella?

Please do!

I bought some sunglasses for when we went to the Arctic so that I wouldn't
get snow blinded. I'm sorry to report that there was very litle snow.

Didn't use an umbrella either.

The astronomy folks are well aware that the purchase of a new expensive bit
of glass guarantees rain; the duration is proportional to the cost. When a
local fellow bought a very nice computer controlled scope, club members
were organizing a lynch mob!

It would've been more useful to have bought one at the start of summer,
and then we mightn't have had the weather we had ;-)

I'm afraid it's our fault. We put in a borehole last year. ;-((

I had one of they on my smallholding. Previous owner told me it was an
Artisan Well.

(Actually, it did act as a spring when the weather had been rather wet
in the Chilterns the previous year...)

Give it another day........... Ray took the dog up the field tonight and
says water is seeping out of the bottom of the field, through the ground and
running across the car park.

Your bore hole has sprung a leak.

No, I think the tide came in at Dartmouth!

More of a blow hole than a bore hole then.

Or a blowhard. ;-)
