Yes it was beautiful up here in Herefordshire, I was tempted to get the ride on out and mow the lawn but decided I had better things to do with my time

Those are fab..do they come in different colours?

Pished it down ALL day here, several roads are closed due to flooding, including the A52. My evening out in town has been postponed till next week, so me and 2 lasses are off to the pub while the menfolk look after (well, in a fashion) the kids (cue the poker set coming out).

The weather now? Gorgeous blue sky with fluffy white clouds drifting on by

And it's not raining here at the moment as well

Think it stopped about half hour ago after raining all day .

It's a good job the cat isn't going out - she would get lost in the grass - still not stopped long enough for it to dry out - anyone got a goat I can borrow

the dams are full that sydney water decided to temporarily turn off the desalination plant to cut costs! the desal plant + water recycling projects are good investment to help insure against future droughts. i think melbourne's desal plant will soon be finished.

i've never seen sydney so green and leafy before thanks to the rains. and its the rains that keep the UK green.

Ah but this is Queensland.....Newman will soon be screaming that there's a drought and its all the fault of the Bligh government - El Nino is a gift for him

Is the desalination plant still rusty!?

apologies in advance for this being from the DM...but it made me smile- too much rain may lead to rickets (too much sun= skin cancer, too much snow : broken limbs etc):

At least there was some good news with ethnic minorities being more susceptible...captioning a pic of barefoot Africans queuing up for food!! I have to go back and make sure I didn't imagine that...NO...they really did...the expats news source of choice at its finest!

QLD's mail? did a similar one, urging us to get more sun, the evidence it was based on was Ethopian immigrant breast fed babies lacking Vitamin D. The typical brisbane resident then ...

Then the picture was a red haired freckled child with no sun protection getting a nice dose of extreme UV .

NHS will now reimburse sunbed expenses.
