Lucky you, I'm praying for some rain and fall in temperature.
Here it is constantly +35 degrees Celcius during the day and 30 during the night.
Haven't had a good night sleep for God knows how long

Don't envy you. I hate those clammy nights, puts you in a real bad mood all day.

I have basically hardly seen any rain of note since early June. Last week we had rain here but I was in Washington DC where it was sweltering and very humid with just one massive thunderstorm.

I have now put a watering system around back garden with timer etc as being out there with a lance every night is not water or time efficient.

Weeks without rain in Suffolk, except for one day, when it bucketed down and all the roads flooded.

It's costing a fortune to water the garden - we're on a meter. :(

Why can't we have a hour of medium rain every night?  I blame the last Government - Ole Miseryguts came here for a holiday. :( :( :(

I'm sitting here in shorts with all the windows and doors open and just watched a lady on BBC News reporting from Wales with a thick coat and scarf on!!  It seemed quite out of place.

I suggest for all you Britts who are sick of rain to come here, but don't plan to stay too long cause you'll get sick of the sun and heat soon ;D

 ;) Actually, I decided my old butt wasn`t big enough and the nice-chap in the hardware store in Denbigh, agreed!
So, I had a helpful bloke `round this afternoon, helping man-handle my new, enlarged-butt into a more useful position out-back. :y
It`ll take longer to pump my new larger butt as it`s got a 200 litre capacity. ;)
