The garden's all wet - can someone tell me what's happened?

More seriously, 9 mm - rather than a few microns.

You got lucky is what happened. Did you do a rain dance, by any chance?
We've only got a measly drizzle ... either that or a squadron a
incontinent gnats is flying over.

Aw, go on, send us a couple of soggy mm.

We have a pit barbeque party this afternoon - might that do it?

I recognise the symptoms, but it's hard to tell.

Just when I'd topped up my reworked pond as far as it would go to
check levels and settle in the rim...

Only in the rainy season :-)

:~)) Certainly could. Wish I could remember which chapter in the
Meteorologist's Handbook that's in ... or was it the Bilble and plagues? :-}

Have a lovely barbie. I'll send you some of my arid southern weather to
help it along.

Met Office got it wrong again - we were supposed to have rain in South
Wales but seems you got it instead. Mind, yesterday we had a little
bit of drizzle for 2 minutes (just enough to get us rushing to the
clothes line but by the time we'd got everything in it had stopped!!!)
but I drove a couple of miles and found the roads wet and puddles
forming.

As the MacBeths used to say "Out, damned sprinkler" again (only on the
newly turfed bit).

What else do you expect in the middle of summer ?
I hope you weren't expecting sunshine.

We had some first thing this morning, drizzle lasted no more than 30 mins,
ground under trees was still dry so it won't of done anything for our
potatoes, watered yesterday so will leave it today as it's not so hot and
also overcast.
Getting silly, I might even have to wash the car again, that always works.

It's not just lack of rian for me. When it does rain, the beds at the bottom
of the garden get no water at all, due to the dense overhanging canopy from
the trees in the park. The council "tree surgeons" cut the branches on their
side, but won't touch the ones on our side, because "they may fall into your
gardens". We've offered to accept that risk, but elf'n'safety means we're
not allowed to do so.

So anyway, even when it rains, in half my garden, and those of my
neighbours, it doesn't rain :'(

That big lump of water passed over Dublin about 1300hrs on Friday.

And just so you know, its brother is just going overhead now.
So get your buckets ready for tomorrow.

I got up this morning and said "it's chucking it down!" and Nick said "no,
it's not!" And we even went outside and I got wet and he denied it was
raining. Admittedly it was that horrid fuzzy stuff that never really gets
anything wet, just damp and drizzley, but even so!

We've had ample rain for the last three or four weeks, and are getting rather fed up of it. I'd like the grass to be dry enough to cut, and to be able to do some pruning without having water dripping down my next.

Postcode lottery, I call it ;-)
