started again, with some moderate bursts from what reminds me of a
post-thundery sky.


The radar is appears promising too. *Looks as if the showers are
holding-up rather than fizzling out as they approach, which has often
been the norm around here, although there's still time ......


But as one of the local farmers I know said to me the other night, any
rain at the moment is good rain.

Can I claim the credit for saying that it wouldn't reach here (as did
the forecast) ! *Water butt half full now.
