Anyone else thinking it might be a good idea?

Pissing down here in the South East...

Noah dear how you'd even get started. Are you a competent joiner or are you Ham fisted?

I have a load of stuff to do today, which involves walking about the mighty Peterborough town, but just going to put it off till tomorrow, as would be drenched before I got 50yds down the street.

So a bit of drizzle down South and the locals are complaining.

Despite Kent having already predicted hosepipe bans.

Hardly been a drop of rain here in weeks, even when the odd shower does pass by, the trails just suck it up and get dusty.....yes, dusty again.

C. 🙂

p.s. I just thought I'd share that because staying in Stirlingshire it's probably my only 'once in a lifetime' chance! 8)

We still get rain down here in the tropics. The only difference is the rainbows are in colour when the sun comes out again. 🙂

I'm just up A10 from you FF.
-My daughter started nursery in September, this was the first day since then that it's been to wet put her on the back of the bike.
-I dug up my front lawn at the weekend and it was like dust under the turf. the garden was beginning to suffer.
-The sand at Thetford is getting too deep and draggy.
Rain was needed over here.

On the other hand my brother in law and his ferrel kids are here from Friday, it better be dry then as I won't survive them being stuck inside.

I had to bury a cat on Sunday, so dug a 3ft hole. Was surprised how moist the soil was given we've not seen any rain for months....

Dry in Lancashire. Local forecast has no rain today, so hoping the rain that fell yesterday has soaked away for tonight's ride 🙂

Actually gobuchul, I take that back, just had 2 colleagues return from lunch and you would have thought that they had never seen rain before.

Pissing it down here.

Although it was sorely needed, usually the water butts in the garden run dry in the Summer when everything needs watering and there's no rain. But they've been empty for the past month and it's only spring!

Despite Kent having already predicted hosepipe bans.

A lot of the SE relies on underground water sources, so unless you get rain consistently enough that it soaks into the ground it makes no difference. A day of torrential rain filling the rivers and just damping down the surface won't solve it.

Unlike for example Birmingham (or anywhere else in the UK really) which gets it's water from reservoirs in mid wales topped up by surface run-off.
