Filling up the butts...

It started to rain about 230pm, 8pm and its still raining, I`d been on my water transference from butts to bins in hopeful anticipation, cannot believe how quickly they have filled up,
Whilst draining some off into my watering cans I noticed how much was draining into the guttering off the little leanto, I`d not taken any notice before , I could have kicked myself, into the shed I was for a hacksaw, then I emptied grandchildrens toybox as I`ve run out of bins and hey presto!!!!!!!!
I cannot believe I`d overlooked that one, I can fit another waterbutt in there if I get one of the thinner ones, needless to say I`m off to the retail park or somewhere tomorrow as it was too late tonight…
On a lighter note, I have to show you this..
Where to make a bed if they won`t let you into a chair, naughty Harry, poor Morgan….

We never have any hose bans here as we always have plenty of water (not fair is it!!)
That last pic is absolutely brilliant!!!

Have to admit its a relief Ojib, I`ve ran out of bins now, lol, don`t know what hubby will say when he sees it tomorrow but don`t care.
That water is pure gold to me at the moment, Pimpernel, lol, I thought it would amuse a few people as it does us, Morgan has the patience of Joab, Harry spent ages padding him down before he settled..

Im so jealous of your rain, we had about 4 spots today!
I dont blame you for wanting to catch every bit.
I love it when animals get on that well, great photo.

Thats what it was like here yesterday Willinilli so perhaps its your turn tomorrow.
Both Harry and Morgan belong to my daughter, thats her feet in the pic, they both always get as close to her as possible when she comes home from work and will stay there until she goes to bed, lol....

Hi Lincslass lol .Very well done on the water butts.We are still lucky at the moment our reservoirs are still ok so no hose pipe ban at the moment .Cats always find the best comfortable places to rest lol:)))

They used to sleep together all the time but it only happens now when its cold and they all want to get near the fire, Harry does however try and takeover in the chairs, Morgan is a right softie, he is a lot older than Brynner our Flatcoat who has always hung on poor Morgans ears when they play, we have to stop him in case Morgan gets hurt because the soppy dog lets him get away with it....

Good that you've got rain - at last! That should keep you going for a while. Sounds as though everything growing in your part of the country is really going to appreciate a good soak.
