We are forecasted a possibility of showers here - really hoping not though!! We had a wet SSD last year, and ot wasn;t just 40 days but I seem to recall 69 unbroken days with some rain on each one!!

I need some sun - especially as we (stupidly) decided to spend the hols here in Ireland again this year (it was sunny for a couple of weeks there - the day after I posted the deposit cheque, it started to rain!!).

the sky is all black here and heading your way flummery ..... don't think we'll get away without rain ....... and anyway it was raining at 3am while i was out looking for my stupid cat, who was miaowing outside the window by 6am, cos he was drenched, even though i'd left the window open ..... he's currently trying to sleep upstairs, but i keep going to wake him up, and the kitten wants to play ...... serves him right i say lol.

so guess that rain means i'll not get any summer fruit/veg then

Definitely a jolly one!! Can't help on where to find such a thing though (if I could figure out how to get one of any description, I'd be doing well!!).
