Well we are now into the first of 4 days of rain that has been
forecast for us here just outside Swansea,
Last night brought us 1 1/2 inches of rain and it's still p...ing
down.
They were forecasting 4 to 5 inches over 4 days but if it keeps this
up I can see us getting well over 6 inches.

If there is one thing to be sure of it is that we are going to continue
getting rotten weather, at least here in N.lincs.
A reliable indication here is when the gulls come inland as they have been
for months now. I have nver seen anything like it before! Droppings like
bombs, and smelly too. On the rare occasions we can put the washing outside
on the washing line they swoop as if to take some and realise its not food,
drop a load of white and brown goo then squawk like mayhem and off they go
until the next frenzy. I really am surprised this has not been in the news,
it's a bit like one of Hitchccks movies at times.
Better times are just round the corner.

If you think that is heavy rain, have a look at the Queensland rainfall of
the last two weeks.
I believe the Australia wide drought has ended.

Well another wet day over with another 1 1/4 inches added, not as much
as forecast.
I was supprised to hear a thrush singing yesterday afternoon despite
the rain, and this morning we have quite a few birds starting to warm
up for the dawn chorus.
