I think that's the thing - there's no respite or get it over in one go; it just goes on and on. I'm with you guys, I can cope with most weather except grey, drizzly conditions - it's so damn depressing.

Agreed. Last week (I think) we had about four days of very English winter dank grey low clouds and shitty rain, not 'proper' rain. It was bloody depressing and I love rain normally.

Yeah me too, we often had days or weeks of heavy rain in Brisbane, not good when the house isnt that watertight

A small yippee is in order.

We had tickets to Hampton Court Flower Show AND it did not rain at all today in SW London. Still we did lug our waterproof jackets with us as heavy rain was predicted!

It was a glorious day today in Dorset, and I sat out for an hour in late afternoon and soaked up the sunshine

Ditto here in the midlands.

40-60mm forecast for tomorrow morning though

Being taken out by friends tomorrow night... busy shopping for sou'westers

Weather much improved in Wiltshire, even got the grass cut

more rain overnight here- grass is beginning to grow worrying long and we fear to let our daughter out as she may be lost in the long grass.

Same with our huge rabbits. We put them out "to grass" a couple of weeks ago to intensively farm them in the hope of keeping the lawn under control but to no avail - they are failing miserably. Problem is that we just haven't had a change to cut the damn thing either Looking out of my window and it is absolutely peeing it down - so depressing.

I could live there.

Or periods of uninterrupted low grey clouds rolling in off the Pacific ocean as I experienced when I was there for 5 months...well 4 of those 5 months anyway!

Hast La Vista, La Niña!

Rain has resumed again, looks set for next 24 hours or so.

Cue screams of "drought"and flipping eggtimers being issued with newspapers to make sure no-one spends more than 20 seconds using water

I'm investing in a pair of these
