Ah well,suppose it saves on the water bill.
My Spanish neighbour has the right idea,..converted his pool into a Duck pond,...at least they are enjoying it.
Best all round climate for what?
Suppose all the local paddy fields and never ending supplies of paella should have given me a clue.
Never heard of water channelling? If rice depended on heavy rain when it was needed there wouldn't any. Most rice grows on the natural wetlands and can be drained when required. The Spanish have a lot to thank the 'Moros'.

Did it rain at the car bonnet as well or just the car boot? Must be a really long car.

Apparantly here we clocked up seventy something centimetres of rain here yesterday, which is quite a lot when you think about it.
