Bloody raining?

Thinking of starting to build an Ark

As a kid I certainly don't remember rain in August holidays does anyone else?

Don't know if it's selective memory or reality, but I seem to recall that, when I was a child, we had sun in the summer, rainy spells either side and snow in the winter!

i.e. distinct seasonal variation giving rise to distinct seasons.

Now we have just 2 seasons. Light grey sky season & darker grey sky season

Will I ever get to replace the bodged head gasket?

I'm afraid we managed a barbecue last night and sat outside until gone 11pm.  The forecast said we couldn't do it though.

The SE corner does seem to miss a lot of the damper stuff.

It does generally Chris, but we have had a lot for us recently

In fact, although I live in a 3rd floor flat, I have mounted a boat outside my lounge window!

Well I live next to old watercress fields, with a river, so you cannot be too carefull

That's one hell of a window box.Must be heavy with all the earth & flowers.Hope it's tied on well!

Oh yes with proper derricks and good stout rope!   No earth and flowers though; just rations!!

I remember quite a few occasions as kids in the summer holidays being stuck in a caravan having to play card games etc coz of the weather.  inc the thunder and lightning storms, but i dont ever remember it going on as long as this. :-/

Nope, I say we're doomed, DOOMED I say!!
 

Just watch the environmentalist brigade now!!

Where is Nick on this one?!!

Last rain we had here was 6th JUNE and didn't amount to much. Send some here please!

The old guys sitting in the bar nursing one drink all night while playing dominoes bemoan the modern day lack of rain. Of course most of southern Spain will be desert before too long.

Anyway think of the positive side. No hosepipe bans, water companies save on infrastructure projects so bigger dividends, people can waste water willy nilly like leaving taps running, sprinkler watering their manicured lawns etc etc.

You have been in Spain too long Varche!!

You have forgetton how the utility companies always find new ways to charge us more.  The water companies, and the river authorities, for instance will soon be talking about even more money being required for flood defences and rebuilding storm water drainage schemes, now we have too much water, and that money will come from one source - US!!!!

Too much, too little, it makes no difference we will still pay even more

Can't argue with that logic!

That would be what Mr Bill Bryson rightly called "like living in Tupperware". You won't want me to say it but it is 36 deg C, not a cloud in the sky. I don't miss the grey one bit.
