I wish we could! They've forcast a average month's rainfall in the next 24 hours. Admittedly it's still only halfway up the ducks but we're battening down the hatches.

rain at the GP would be a good thing though. certainly makes for interesting racing and results.

or 2 hours of the safety car :(

In a rare break in the weather yesterday I had a very relaxing afternoon sailing at Black Park. Water like a millpond, and crystal clear. A baby duckling tried to have a go at my White Ensign when I stopped to let them pass {-)
However, guess what, the celestial hosepipe is working again now. It seems to hardly ever stop.

A pleasant 26C here with sunshine :)

Ah, nostalgia and summers that went on forever. Bob - looking out my window now is just simply depressing - even the Koi are complaining at the lack of sunshine.
Every year I have a running battle with duckweed - it loves the sun - this year I've hardly had any by comparison.
Dvae ........ I can't even be bothered correcting that.
-
A pleasant 19deg here with a light warm wind,...think i,ll finish off mowing the lawn, then at 1.30 i,m off to the Podiatrists to get my tootsies nails cut,

At least here in the south west I've managed to get a tan.....it's called rust !

Even in those nostalgia long summers you refer to there were no hosepipe bans. Now they are using perpetual rain to stop people using them.
Koi pond blanket weed has been non existant this year, but I have watercress in the upper pool which is very effective for that.

yes, I read another post from you on that - it's under consideration - post a pic if you have one Bob

My 18 yr old Koi Pond fills much of the back garden, little do the Koi realise that this is soon to become a 4 ft deep model submarine test facility %%
Planting water cress in the top pool above the waterfall has virtually eliminated blanket weed, which I do not want fouling my submarine propellors either.

I have a lot fishing line criss-crossed between the tops of the fence posts.
ie: A Bikini is like a barbed wire fence - "protects the property, without obscuring the view" !
At one stage I had seriously considered mounting a Royal Navy Phalanx gun on the garage roof, but that might have upset Heathrow Air Traffic Controllers.

on BBC News: New European weather satellite launched.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18624377 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18624377)
Maybe it was faults and a Tx failure in the old satellite that caused the weather to be stuck permanently on rain?
Will the new equipment solve the problem ? Is it based on the 'Planet' T5 ? What is the Fail Safe system on loss of signal?

any rain forecast for the race

Even in those nostalgia long summers you refer to there were no hosepipe bans. Now they are using perpetual rain to stop people using them.
There were no hosepipe bans because we had enough reservoirs for the population then. We now have a greatly increased population, but, in the last 30 years, we have only built 1 new large reservoir, in Derbyshire.
You can trace this decision back to an EU directive which requires all countries to operate a 'water saving' policy. Our governments now push the idea of 'Demand Management' using water meters, which is planned to lower our water consumption by around 20% per head (See 'Water Futures (2008) policy document). If this were to occur, no new reservoirs would be needed. The 20% lowered figure seems to be already in the planning predictions.
The result of this is that planned reservoirs are halted by government inspectors applying the new planning predictions. We have had an 11% increase in population in the SE since 2000, and water companies have proposed 5 new reservoirs, and extensions to 3 more, to cope with this. See their 2004 plans. ALL these reservoir works have been halted, not by the water companies, but by government intervention at the planning stage.
And no one seems to be complaining about this.... >:-o <*<
-
Don't need anymore fixed reservoirs due to the emergency ones generated by the lack of adequate drainage. It's OK having a mass building effort but when the new builds are connected to what was once a more than adequate drainage system and the propogation of hard pad gardens, somethings gotta give.

Non Absorbant surfaces, car parks instead of flowers.

As a result of their extended drought, plans are under consideration to ship water to the Outer Hebrides by tanker.
Have a different holiday on St Kilda.
