Yes the heavy rain (circa 2") in past couple of days has now increased my
monthly rainfall total for October 2004 to 314.1 mm. More than a foot !
And an average of 10mm/day, which is a sobering thought.

This is the highest rainfall monthly total I have ever recorded in my life both
professionally and personally. Mind you this is the first time I have ever
lived/worked in a high rainfall area.

To celebrate I will be pouring myself half a shandy this evening :-)

YES - COME ON - YOU CAN DO IT - Brilliant !

Ecstatic cheers,


I have recorded 307mm this month. This is also the highest monthly
rainfall total I have ever recorded but I only started recording in
October 2003.

I will have to save the drink till tomorrow night, though, as the male
voice choir I sing in has its annual concert tonight (for anyone in the
Llandeilo area).
