Much ado about nothing!

Monty Python's John Cleese once said  "And now for something completely different"!

We have been seeing footage on news services of many places on earth that have been subject to flooding over the past 5 months.

I feel sorry for those affected,  but here in my part of the world which is supposed to have a Mediterranean climate we have not had enough rain to wet the pavement since 8th December 2018! Trees are dying, our lovely countryside is brown and lifeless. Our poor garden has taken a massive hit.

We have had promise after promise of soaking rains but....until now, nothing has come.

Here is our current forecast......looks like, here in the hills,  we might get 50mls (2 inches) over the next couple of days.....Yeah!!

The radar says we are in for a pasting tonight and as I type this, I head something I have not heard for almost half a year.....rain on the roof

I guess we should be careful what we wish for but, there is considerable jubilation in our community tonight as it looks like the heavens are about to open!

Thank God I won't have to hold that garden sprinkler tomorrow....;-))

Cheers......Rob

@Robin4  I wish I could share some of the rain we've had here in West Virginia, USA, with you. My yard has been one big mud hole most of the past 12 months. I can't get enough dry days in a row to do some very necessary yardword. I also can't keep the floors clean as the dogs must "go out" and they don't have wellies.

Take care my long distance friend! I have to get back to 'work'. 🙂
