We need more but we're having a steady downpour that's enough to be
refreshing but not heavy enough to damage plants. Now, if it keeps
this up all night and stops tomorrow morning, it really will be Camelot
weather.

I'm hoping for rain here. My 500 litre water butt got emptied last
night. The garden is well ready for a good soak. A refreshing breeze has
got up now and some clouds with an odd spot or two of rain. To encourage
it more I've just gone out and dug up a row of potatoes, but that has
failed to stimulate the downpour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed now for
the rain. Perhaps a rain dance outside - or does that only work for red
Indians?

I can hear them rumbling in the distance. The lights have just
flickered, but still no sign of the storm descending. It is just teasing
me with the prospect of rain, or maybe no rain.
The weather will probably wait until I rig the pump up again and water
the garden / fill the water butt from the well, then chuck it down.
