When is it going to stop... Raining

[Dogtrousers]

It's raining here in London. We've just had a succession of very heavy downpours over the past week or so, often interspersed with blue skies. Today is more of a here-to-stay low grey clouds rainy day.

Bloody Scottish weather.. Everyone tells you that you can look forward to perma-rain but then when you get here this kind of thing awaits you!!!

Oh, lucky you!
Here in Glasgow the weekend was cold with the odd shower.
Today was milder, but with more persistent rain.
Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!

UK has got 2 seasons:
1. When it's raining and 2. when it's not.
1. When you pay for your car to get washed and 2. when rain does it for free.
1. When it's always dark and 2. when you can see the daylight (this one applies to night shift workers).

Anyone else notice that since we got the "new, second moon" it's been raining nonstop.

No, but then I had no idea we might have a "new, second moon". What does that mean?

A diddy asteroid has started orbiting the earth and is demanding to be given full moon rights.

Thank you. I hadn't heard about that.

It hasn't been raining non-stop since Sunday here (South Wales). In fact it is not raining now.

We have been incredibly lucky!

We drove up on Friday in sunshine, though there was a cold northerly wind.

Saturday still had the cold wind but it stayed dry. We visited relatives then walked the dog on the beach at sunset.

Sunday was great - I cycled to Castle Stalker with my niece on an excellent cycle path. You can see the castle in my photo above.

Yesterday was supposed to be very wet but it wasn't - we had some light mist and drizzle at noon when we set off to join relatives for a stroll up the local 'mountain' (Ben Lora - more of a big hill) but that soon eased off to cool, overcast conditions which stayed all day.

So far the only heavy rain has been in the middle of the night...

We are here until Friday. I hate to make you all jealous, but this is the forecast...

How's that for luck!!

I keep trying to find it but the Argyll rain was just as elusive today as it has been since Sunday...

36h (and counting) of dry sky here in Oxon. Sunny-but-blimmin-chilly this morning.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY the floodwaters have subsided enough to use my "normal" route. Woo-hoo!
(and I managed to mow the lawn last night. First time in at least 2months - either it's been raining, or I've been out/away on the bike 🤷‍♂️ :P )

The local motons* really hate cyclists on my flood-dodging route. Odd, because we end up on the same road further along anyway!

(*Of course it's really only the cockwomble minority that are the problem.)
