Do be careful, Baz. A drowned garden is one thing ..

Take your tea-making kit upstairs and keep warm and dry. We'll pray for
a sunny bit for you.

Thanks for the wishes.
Would you beleive I have a 1970's Goblin Teasmaid which works perfectly.
NO SMARTY COMMENTS from some of the guys, please gentlemen, this should not
get like Jakes butt. erm talk he gave.

Sorry, Spider, I had to get that in.
The only problem with the Teasmaid is that it wakes me too early because it
starts to boil the water an hour before the tea is made. That is noisy.

We have only drizzle now and the crisp packet blowing around the lake which
used to be a lawn and is still floating.

Life!

Well, at least you have a sense of humour, that should keep your sanity
safe! You should perhaps be wary of electricity, as Janet (not Jake?)
says, if it gets really bad. I'm not an electrician, but a fireman's
daughter ;~). If you can't make a nice hot brew, a drop of scotch would
warm the cockles of your heart.

However, I do hope 'your' drizzle is the end of it, and you don't have a
ruined house to remedy. Good luck.

I very recently came across this

haven't played with it long enough to assess its true worth,
but it could be useful. You can localise it too by searching
for and saving your location.

Indeed it is, since it updates every 15 minutes with an overall 15
minute delay in relation to real time, and if you run the 3 hour (or
so) previous archive that it displays you for the time leading up to
the present, then you can often get a very good prediction for when
rain is going to arrive, the direction it is heading and how extensive
it is likely to be when it arrives.
