Walked across some playing fields today that I last walked on the 20th

Getting bloody desperate for water. Cant see anything in the near
forecast. Tonights has fizzled out.

I've been a little jinxed since I started in Lawn Care. First the
winter arrives in November meaning no seed germinated in the autumn,
then just as spring begins we have next to no rain for 2 months now.
I'm on a hinding to nothing here, is someone up there trying to tell
me something ?

Just checked the Met Office radar, there appears to be some heavy
organised rain brushing the south coast but again, it does not seem to
have got as far north as Horsham.

I bought a second water butt a month ago and am still waiting for some
significant rain to fill it up. The first one will be dry by the end of
the bank holiday weekend if it stays dry. It is ridiculous the lack of
rain here this last two months.

Wonder if we'll have another South East forcefield this year :-)
