Its horizontal rain here today too - even doing my VAT seems nice sitting here in the dry,  - actually doing VAT is always a nightmare, but at least its dry in here apart from the tears of frustration on the keyboard.

Well, the wind and rain this morning were horrific (the wind is still at it!)

We've already got about an inch of standing water over the lawn and half the veg patch.  The bird runs were like paddy fields and only the ducks were happy (ecstatic, in fact!)...

One of the dogs did not even bother to come with me this morning when I went down to feed ther birds.  He did his toilet on the grass closest to the house, and went back inside and put himself on the sofa to sleep.  Man's Best Friend indeed  ::)

Managed to sneak an hour and half away from the rain taking the dogs to the woods for their run, bucketed on the way home so went to a friend for a cuppa and a nice chat in her conservatory listening the the drumbeating on the roof!  Nice and cosy!

Dogs need walking regardless of how I feel - as you know.  Phone my mobile next time!

It's been lovely here today - sunny, warm out of the breeze. Clouding up a bit now, but the breeze was certainly bringing down leaves and the trees are on the turn. Ponies getting winter coats.
