April 1st, no rain for months so I did this….
Desperate measures, I needed that bathwater…
Our hosepipe ban was due to start April 5th, the rain started on 4th, ( breathes a sigh of relief) and carried on for over 36hrs, the waterbutts were filling fast and I filled every bin and container I had..
As you can see Brynner and Morgan are very busy in front of the fire ..
Caspar has the back of my chair, also very busy..
Tipsy is comfy in the dining room…
Harry is the only one who braved the weather and he`s had enough now and wants to come in again, lol..
OY !!!! YOU INDOORS, our feeder needs filling !!!!!!!

Brilliant Lincslass, my 15 year old Westie laid in front of electric fire to keep warm this morning, I thought I could smell something burning - I could it was his fur, lol he gets that close to it it scorches him. lol. He also lays in the hearth of the open fire and has to turn his head because it gets so hot only moves when it has become just too much to bare. Senile old dog they say they grow to become like their owners don't they. lol :o))))))))

lol it's either feast or famine with the rain, isn't it?

Hello Fran, where you been hiding, not seen you for a while. Yes its all or nothing it seems.
Olive Morgan does that and we have to move him, mind you the white cat Harry,( who also belongs to daughter) set his tail on fire a few years back as he laid near the cooker, it was a horrible smell and the daft cat didn`t notice until I threw a wet teatowel onto him, the top of his tail now has a yellow streak .....

Lol! Sorry I know I shouldn't laugh but that is funny xx
19 Apr, 2012
I know, we laugh now but it was scary at the time, Harry hasnt learnt his lesson either, the thing is my daughter has no sense of smell at all and I dread to think what would have happened if she'd been in the house on her own upstairs or something as his fluffy tail was all aflame, it was the smell that alerted me.....

I know the feeling Sue, desperate myself today went to the garden centre and bought a lot plants and spent alot of money to console myself, perhaphs the weather will be kind tomorrow and we can all get out and do what we like best, enjoy our Gardens!!

Oh Lincs, you did make me smile. And guess what - our gardening club has arranged a speaker to talk about planting in drought conditions!! Quite funny really . .

Pansy I did treat myself to some new style planters with obelisks for toms and cucumbers but that was online so awaiting delivery.
Sheila thats really made my day, lol....

Our Council has offered to let our Garden Club members have the recycling bins with broken lids, to use as extra storage for rainwater

Be good if ours do that Andrew, I do have an old one that came from an old quarry years ago, it holds as much water as my largest butt, I just stand it near one of my sheds and dip the can into it....

Your not going to sink your own bore hole then Lincs, the very latest thing "to do", only costs between 3 and 8 thousand pounds.
19 Apr, 2012
Lol, Stroller!
19 Apr, 2012
Stroller I won`t have to bore very far down at the moment, I`m 3ft lower than my neighbour and all her water drains onto my yard, lol... I keep getting ads at the top of my page for those very expensive waterpumps.....

Lovely Blog. They all look very busy to me to :)

Hi Lincs, not been doing much worth writing about! and been trying to have some internet-free days cos once I start, there goes the day. only prob then is playing catch-up with what everyone's been doing. x
19 Apr, 2012
Well, there's not much I can add to all of this except to say, roll on summer and lets have a drought! lol.
21 Apr, 2012
I'm only whispering this cos don't want to upset the apple cart but we have sunshine and its dry on my patio and yard, lol....
21 Apr, 2012
I am thinking of building an ark - we shall need one soon if this lot keeps on, the garden is stood in water and I mean stood, inches deep this morning, has gone down now but is very very wet and very very muddy.
21 Apr, 2012
I didn't mind at first but my gardens like a swamp at the minute with my clay soil! To make matters worse, my water butt is blocked and i cant find the culprit! Such a waste! :(
22 Apr, 2012
We are clay soil here too Smoo, very messy right now, but eh ho Summer is only just around the corner....................
..........................................................................................................................................................................................
trouble is it is a long corner at the moment. :o)

We had sun yesterday Lincs but typically we were going to friends for the day as it was Hubbies birthday. So I'm hoping for a bit more sun, but I'm afraid the forecast is not good!
