Title: It must have rained??

Monsoon here last night!  I'm guessing by the huge numbers of new postings on here it has rained / is raining elsewhere too!!

Much needed but it didn't rain as much as expected, could easily do with the same again after months of dry weather.

I'm just glad we escaped in our little corner of Caithness so the shearer could do his work! The only downside, as OH said, is now we can't recognise any of them as they look so different. I said he'll have to learn their numbers ..... and develop the eyesight to be able to read them from a field away !    :roflanim:

It did stop raining long enough for me to get out and water the greenhouse.  :roflanim:


We went to a wedding today and were disturbed by the lightning during the service. The sun did come out long enough for the bride and groom to cross the road from the church to the car but that was it.


Picked up a bucket that had over half filled with water in 24 hours so, yes, I would say there has been quite a lot of rain.
