Go away...come back another day...

Went down to my plot today..the runner beans were doing the backstroke

Geo..

I know - I went down to my plot yesterday and felt like a right fool in the pouring rain! and it looks like it's going to rain for most of the rest of the week - ugh.

Looking on the bright side - at least we don't have to water!! Time to test the drainage in my new beds I guess.

I'm off to the Midlands Show tomorrow. It looks like heavy weather gear to me. Solid rain!

I've built an Ark - I just need some animals.

Any volunteers?

rain last night sun today. cold wind but runner beans growing away..
(Stout beans in Midlands:_)

Global warming seems like just a dream!

Still no rain here ..........

I've got 3 very unhappy guinea pigs at the moment. They live in an outside run with a covered "house" at one end but the rain has got through everything.

First real rain in about 6 weeks here today - I'm as happy as a pig in sh*t

SOMEONE has swapped April and May around haven't they....?! Is it the same people that decide when school holidays are? They're havin a larf, whoever did it!! LJ, I think you need to wield the pea-stick and make sure that June is actually June!

“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

Yes please LJ as I have a five year old b'day party to contend with in mid-June and it'll only work if it is outside. Then they can run around screaming and generally disturbing the neighbours and I can send them home exhausted but over excited despite absence of colourants.

I had to rescue all my modules from trays outside as they were treading water and one of my olive trees that I put in a bucket with a little water as it looked very dry was actually submerged. Did very little on the lottie last week and at the weekend due to the rain and shaping up the same this week. It'll probably brighten up once the children are back at school and then I can have a day restoring my sanity on the lottie.

Might need a machete for the weeds though by then.

Oh! I'm sorry BW! I thought the pond had overflowed!

It has rained here solidly for six weeks, with a few rays of sunshine inbetween, I tell you if someone is building an ark, can they stop off in my neck of the woods. And then it went and rained on St Swithins day, 40 more days of the stuff and compared to 2006 when I was begging for water.
