Weather Report..................

According to my weather site, we've had gentle,incessant rain , since tea time.
It's due to stop soon, they say.
We haven't seen a drop , since the 12 drips that fell 36 hours ago.
I know that the moment my head hits th pillow, the rain will start.. 15 minutes later, I'll be supposed to get out there and connect up the cisterns.
 
It's currently chilly in Cornwall - and will likely stay that way for a while.
As is the norm for us Staunch Southerners I don't have the heating on but may add a light jumper to my T-shirt later this evening should the temperature stay below 5°C.

The sky has patches of blue and, to the delight of the leisure batteries, the solar panel is already busy converting photons to electrons.

Morning all,
Yup!
The drizzle started at 11.45.
I gave it 30 minutes, to wash the roof off, connected everything up and staggered, damply, off to bed.
Let's just say our beauty sleep was undisturbed by overloud pittering or pattering.
11 grey degrees, this morning.
About 2 litres lurked at the bottom of the grit sump... Not enough to overflow into the cisterns.
The forecast, ( Don't snigger! ), is for ¼ inch of rain between now and teatime.
Ever the optimist, me.
 
very overcast grey,,,,supposed to be something minus degrees.......however, it feels quite pleasant and fresh,,,,,,mind thats only my opinion judged on a few step to the bin.......lol.........n.east area
 
The rain finally arrived about 5pm.. A couple of hours of gentle stuff.
Looks like that's it for the foreseeable future.
Cisterns have a couple more weeks in.
So we're still on water saving.
No luxury" Hotel", showers tomorrow.
Pic was taken at 4.45pm.

We're not sad, thanks Bill.
If we get the same amount, every week, lovely gentle rain, doesn't do any damage, we, and the neighbours would be well content..
Too heavy rain, damages the lane and runs away fast, without filling the aquifers. They need those filled, to last through The Summer.
So we're happy.
