Morning all.
Didn't put all the junk back
In the pumphouse, after the Plumber went.
Planned to clean it out then paint it today...
Average August rainfall here is 0.0 mm

It pitter pattered at 3 am, with a half- hearted thunderstorm..
A freak event. Not enough to dampen the tiles.
Watered round at dawn..

Another Forecast after lunch..
It's drizzling now.
We refuse to go indoors.

No need to be sad, Guys...
We've had an excellent day.
Coffee time inside, first time for 3 months .
All meals outside.. and wearing not too much.
It pitter- patted at some stage of each meal.... We just sat there and relished the cool drops on our bodies.
Pleasant afternoon siestas and a max of only 35..
Cool calm evening
Jazz on the radio
Mustn't grumble.
While we've had a great day, tomorrow looks to be back to August normal.

Rumbling in the distance, just felt a wet spot land on my arm, much needed water heading this way!

 

[runnach]

Happening now, storm over head and chucking it doon!

Beas car first wash in five week.

Can you send some of that badly needed rain up here please as we still have blue sky and sunshine? We are having to feed our poor sheep and it’s costing me money!

It’s heading your way.

 

[tonybvi]

It’s arrived!! Not much yet but hope springs eternal, as they say.

 

[tonybvi]

I reckon this is our little bit!

 

[runnach]

Stopped here at the moment, very dark, I will try and push some in your direction, Tony.

Thanks Terry - every little bit helps.

Thanks Terry - every little bit helps.

The brae was like a river, bridged flooded, typical useless Midlothian Clowncil, roads gullies chocked with weeds and other debris. You would think the obvious, lets clean gullies while the weather is good. Common senses does not prevail at Midlothian Clowncil, especially here where all access roads into town are at bottom of a hill with a bridge to cross.

 

[tonybvi]

Still raining very slightly but cows are still standing!!

 

[runnach]

Tony, you dont want them standing when the lightning kicks off, mind you, save you cooking them

Back in early July we were sitting at the Tesla Newbridge superchargers before heading for Penicuik. Our daughter phones and says don’t move for the time being, all roads round her house are flooded as are parts of the Edinburgh bypass due to flash flooding. No sign of any rain at Newbridge. We wait for half an hour and everything clear again. As you say just clear the gulleys when the weather is good - problem solved.
