I just looked up the long range weather forecast for my area and it says there will be rain on Saturday 21st July, none before then. The rain will fall in early morning then again from 3 till 9 p.m. A fortnight will be endless waiting time. When I last looked it up, the forecast was expecting rain on the 3rd July and yes! there was a mini-shower that evening. So we'll see.

I've been doing that too, Vannin, and I have now decided to stop it as it just makes me more depressed than ever. Over the last few weeks, they have forecast some rain many days ahead and by the time we reach that date it has changed back to wall-to-wall sunshine.

We haven't even had a spit of the wet stuff since I don't know how many weeks now.
