By a several miles!

Plenty more water from the sky though - another 0.9" today...

With the rain and the effect on parking & traffic, we will not be going
to the Royal Welsh Show tomorrow in Builth Wells as we have for many
years. I'm sure attendances at many events must be down.

What has the weather stopped me doing? Here goes:

1. Sweating like a pig when practising the trombone.
2. Gawping at scantily-dressed young women.
3. Mowing the lawn.
4. Getting up, except last Friday, obviously, when accurately timed
measurements and photographs had to be taken.
5. Studying the night sky.

The nights have often been clear though, at least in the last couple
of weeks here (Southampton) despite rather iffy days. ISTR a lot of
unseasonably overcast nights in May and June though.

You're lucky - my grass has needed mowing much more often than during
a hot dry summer.

While the water supply was restored on the 31st July, it's only today
been declared safe to drink.
