We Need Some Rain

[Tilly2]

but it keeps missing us. All afternoon, there has been a succession of big black clouds passing over but not one drop of rain has fallen. I am looking at the rain radar map and it keeps heading this way then veering off! Bedfordshire.

Any rain your way?

[ummmm]

We had a short sharp downpour earlier.

[ummmm]

Northampton.

[pastafreak]

None here...just overcast.

[Tilly2]

It's moved westwards from Northampton and no more is heading your way, Ummmm.

It looks like it might here, but nothing yet.

[ummmm]

It just how humid it gets.

[Tilly2]

Here's the radar map I'm looking at. The Met Office one isn't working today.

Few spots since I got home, Tilly.....nothing much....

I have watered the garden.......well it was either that or unpack the cases and I hate doing that..... :-(

This is the site I use but you need to zoom in for more detail http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ We had a good downpour this time yesterday but there is nothing now. I still have washing out.

We've not long got back from a few days away gness, I too watetedmy garden first! Unpacking can wait..

[Quangoid]

Make your own op! I have a watering hose which i've turned into a sprinkler by poking a lot of holes into and hang this on tree branches and along fences, turn it on and cool and refreshing artificial rain.

[gness]

Indeed, Patsy!...In the front door and out the back to check the garden......and watering is so relaxing after a journey......
Bliss for me was finding lots of tiny froglets......so before I unpack I'll just sit with a glass and watch them.......
Then, before unpacking, another glass of wine.....then....oh I'll find something!....:-)

[Tilly2]

It's gone really black here, again.

[ducksie]

Tilly, you're gonna have plenty of it in the coming week - we have it here at moment (SE Rep of Ire)

[pixie374]

I'm going to water the garden. That'll guarantee a downpour within ten minutes x

[Tilly2]

I can see that on the map, Ducksie. Lightning too, I see.

[Tilly2]

The unpacking can wait , Gness. You need a dry day to hang it all out. :-)

[tiggerblue10]

I was at the Sky Gardens (Walkie Talkie building) in London today and despite very dark clouds we only had a few droplets here and there. Back home now (South London) and its mostly blue sky.

[ducksie]

Ah, it's only sheet lightning Tilly, wouldn't mind that :)

[gness]

I have unpacked the car, Tilly.......won't need a dry day....I never hang washing out......yes, it smell nice but it's such a waste of my time....in the tumbler and I can do something interesting....
Will the cases get unpacked tonight?....Hmmm....bath now with bubbles and a book and maybe tuck up in my own bed...bliss.... :-)
