Yes, but isn't that typical Mellie weather??? Whenever my OH goes there for work it is always raining. We have a beautiful autumn day here in Sydney.
The leaves on the trees outside my living room window are changing colour and I love the smell of burning logfires when I go out on an evening to collect Himself (in the dark, even!) It's probably the closest I get to pangs of homesickness for the UK. |
Re: the wrong kind of rain
UK and other countries should stop drawing water from underground. i suspect it weakens the ground and creates sinkholes.

But I am even more over the "you can't say that about the Uk and if you do we will gang up on you and shout you down" bunch. The Uk does have water restrictions and flooding. Its a fact. No amount of shouting down by the cheer squad will get over it. |

The water companies have not officially called this 'the wrong kind of rain' but they have said despite floodwaters galore, there is still a drought and a hosepipe ban until at least December. Apparently if the rain had fallen in winter, it would have soaked away and refilled reservoirs. Now it is not...hence the wrong kind of rain! Surely if rain had fallen on frozen ground, it would have run off? Now the ground is softer, it must be more able to absorb? Or is my knowledge of basic science failing me? As I trudge along with wellies, ski jacket and umbrella, in the pouring rain, it amuses me to think that we are in drought and people are not allowed to water their waterlogged gardens. :rofl: |
