We need rain badly here as well, at the moment I´m only trimming my lawn once a week with the mower set at the highest setting without the grass box on....just to make it look not too stragely My 2 1000 litre water barells are nearly empty as well, light drizzel has been forecast for tuesday...will just have o wait and see what happens.

Yes rained all night here as well Ladybug, I`ve been carrying rinsing water out to my lawn for weeks now, it helps a bit, I `m also only cutting on a 2week basis, I strim the edges and around the trees and leave the rest.

We've had some showers here and that's enough now. I enjoy rain but I don't want another wet summer.

Have only cut the lawn twice since autumn - bit straggly but the growth has been so little because of the dryness.

Still no rain here although it had been forecast for the whole of the day ...
