Wow - the heavens the heavens!

:o)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Same here, only got an inch in our water butt though, but it's a start!! :0))))

Same here Grandmage, but the garden look better even for the small amount we`ve had.

You are so right, everything has perked up !!

Except my pizza, just put it in the oven, came on here - smoke and cinders later, pizza in the bin!

Take away tonight then Minih.!!

That sounds like a fab idea, grandy. More goy time too :))))) (it's a killer for household duties here, isnt it). Yes, yes, yes more rain is coming down. Halleluia :o))

Still watering by hand here..:o((. Glad you got the rain you needed though Minihoney!...:o)

So nice to hear that someone is pleased with the weather for a change....me....grumpy as usual! ;))

It's been raining in my county, on and off a steady downpour for 28 hours hooray!

Send some down we haven't seen any rain for weeks now .......

It's lovely to se the rain again, we're in the middle of a thunder and lightening storm and the rain is bouncing off the paving. (Think it may be too much to soak into the soil ...... pity) The air smells so clean and fresh ....... wonderful. ;-o

The problem in the west of Scotland is, it has been raining for two weeks and it is cold and windy. Just look at the golf on TV. I can't get into the garden to do any gardening. It is like winter here!!
Linda

Yes, Linda, middle of July and I have lit the stove tonight!!!! I am not complaining about the rain ( a bit more would be nice) but it is cold and the wind is strong up here also.

Feeling happy here as well, grass is back to green again,plants standing tall and proud and 3waterbutts overflowing, however Brynner is scared again because we have had one loud thunderclap..........

We had a day of rain Monday and that's it ....

Thunderstorm here too,and 2 cloudbursts this afternoon.Sorry its so cold and windy for you Linda,and Bulbaholic...I do hope it improves shortly for you both.
At least it is quite warm here.Have your plants suffered much with the awful weather?I hope not..as it is so disheartening....

Glad to hear you've had some much needed rain at last. I hope it doesn't last too long though lol - or everyone will get fed up with it.

I'm fed up with rain already (HA! not really really!!) But I have a cazillion wild strawberries to pick for my family who are coming to lunch, also potatoes and all the veg to go with a roast. Think I will put on my waterproofs!
My house also smells of wet puppies but they are silky soft with the rain.

Does anyone know where the tap is???????

We've had a week of rain which has been lovely, gusty south westerlies too though which hasn't been so lovely :-/
Stripes, you've missed out down there, i hope you get a share soon.

Think it needs a new washer,Bulbaholic !!!

Gales still blowing but sunshine with it today, apart from furniture taking off and a lot of twigs,fruit and a lot of leaves on the ground we are doing ok in my part of the county, hope you and your gardens are AOK.....

Been very wet and windy here ,but just eased off a bit,and now fine...but not looking promising.Just risked hanging some towels out..fingers crossed...:o)

Snap Bloomer, my towels are blowing in what seems like a force 9 !!!!! Wont take long to dry

Mine look in danger of ending up next door!....:o)

Hilarious, Dd :0))

We had a right down pour here in Leigh-on-Sea Essex on Monday, two of my Water Butt's were over flowing from the House & Workshop gullys, two three quarter full off greenhouse gullys,the one outside the Workshop has been syphoned off into anothere barrel, the one near the house is nearly empty now so I'm hopping for more rain but as long as it come's in the night. I would like a W/Butt in the front garden but the down pipe is cast iron :o(

Dont our butts give us girls a loada grief???? :)))

lol...:o)))

Butts indeed, I have lost my water catching area (The wooden shed now gone) So now have to invest in about 3 butts and attach to our downpipes. The shed was easier I just put 5 litre water buts under the roof and the rain dripped into them between the shed and the wall, simple!

Mini, I couldnt agree more !!!!! Lol

You women !!Always going on about your butts !!!!! LOL..

Your so right,Mushybanna...very hard to get the perfect Butt.!! Lol.

if anyone has the perfect butt here, they can leave! :)

Mines leaking !!! Lol.

Mines tucked behind the shed....some Butt !!! Lol.

Mine wont fit behind the shed bloomer !

I used to have a perfect butt!

I know a really good pharmacist - for these particular ailments, failing that, I think DynoRod or ProntoProd or something like that, still do a roaring trade, pardon the expression :)))

Lulu,so did Grandmage till she got a leak Lol.

?Tenna ladies, or am I way off the mark.....:o)

Hilarious Ddog, oh you are awful!!!! Lol. Bloomer just of to bed, giggling !!

Ddog,just a bit..but can see your logic..!!!Lol.
Grandmage,hope you managed to get to sleep ok..:o))))

My miss went to see Calender Girls last night at the theatre and that has given me a great idea ..How about a butt calender !!...LOL....

Wouldn't that be a bit boring Mushy?...different sizes,yes...but all green ???
I know I'm a gardener but a year of green Buttsl. Perish the thought.Lol.

Bloomer
Well they could be dressed up ..Blue shed on one side ,yellow the next .A bit of imagination would be required, "butt", im sure we could manage it......LOL

Oh,that is so bad,Mushy,worse than some of mine..'.butt 'you will get better..Lol.Have got the paint brush at the ready..wonder if the neighbours would like orange? ;o))

Mushy, you could use my photo of my OH lying half inside our water butt! See my blog, 'bless my oh.' That would do for one month!!!!!!

Oh,what a good one that would be,Grandmage..don't get me started again..:o)))
What month do you think would be best ?

Grandmage..
Just looked at blog ...hahahaha that's is real genius..
I can see the headline......".Butt swallows man whole !! ..

Bloomer

Bloomer will have to think about that one !!!

Think I'll pass on that,Mushy..Lol...and Grandmage,Don't think I want to..!!!.
