Just saw the news and all the rain you guys in Scotland are getting again, hope you are all ok and coping. It's so ironic, down here on the south coast i was watering the garden this morning cause we are so dry!
and they wonder why farmers moan so much

[jaykay]

Yep it's raining in Cumbria (again  ) too.

The bloody tup has got over the wall to the ewes and it's been so wet for the past two days I can't see to put up some wall-topping nor hold the post-knocker. Hopefully no ewes are interested in him!

More rain forecast tomorrow too

Thanks feldar - but it ain't just Scotland!  (Oh, jaykay just posted from further south in Cumbria - wet there too  )

Can't do nuthin.  Shorn sheep miz.  Unshorn sheep (neighbour's) miz.  Cattle miz.  Ponies glad they have rain channels in their native coats, but still miz.  Pig a bit miz but likes the ground soggy for rootling.  Dogs only miz as there's less sheep work, otherwise still boinging about being collies. 

When the rain eventually stops it'll take several days for the grass and ground to dry enough to even think about cutting grass.

Hope the tup's fun was indeed rained off, jaykay!

Sorry i didn't mean to not include all the northeners too.
And just to make you feel better our shearling ewes and tup were caught amberling down the road to Milford on sea last night, i think they fancied a night on the beach, took us ages to round them up.

I was very happy to see the rain evne though my back arden was flooded - it cleared all the poo from the burn that runs through my garden and now the ducks can get out to play in  it

[jaykay]

And still it rains

Heavy rain here in North Yorkshire too, pig padocks are minging to the point i may have to bring them in for a few days!
Grass is all shin deep and the clover seems to have exploded everywhere, the only animal happy is Delia pig who is rotivating the fromt field like a bulldozer, she's one helluva turf stripper.
Weather lady promised a dry weekend so fingers crossed as we're off to Ripley show on Sunday.

Yeah still raining here too.  And I now need to go and have a chat with the girl who rides my highland pony 3 days a week - went up this morning to find a rug on her!!! Poor thing was sweating 

[JulieS]

Raining here in Devon too.  Too much mud to do any work outside 


The pigs are loving the mud though 

[Rosemary]

Been dry and sunny here until about an hour ago. Now drizzling. But the ground is sodden and puddled from the torrential rain on Wednesday.

Davy (Fell) says he's cold (ears cold to the touch) and having to eat dried old thistles.  Floss (other Fell, born and bred on the hills) says she's toasty warm and full up.

Both Fells are fat as tunky pigs.   

But I will bring Davy in overnight if this continues for very many more days.

The sheep want to know what's this they hear about goats being brought into a nice dry byre when it rains. But the goats would like to know when I'm going to evict the noisy, smelly, annoying chooks from their abode  

Rumour has it that Sun and Mon are going to be dry

[Skirza]

Bleh...it rained all over my eldest son's wedding in Edinburgh...my hat got wet 

[jaykay]

Oh I'm sorry, rain does spoil the photos 

[SallyintNorth]

Oh I'm sorry, rain does spoil the photos 

Actually, my then best friend got married decades ago, the rain pelted down all day but the very clever photographer with some judiciously placed golfing umbrellas managed to make it look as though it had been dry all day.

I'm sure your son's photographer was just as cunning, Skirza.
