Peter X Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 The rain all missed me, and we're back to endless sunshine on the Costa del Croydon, with the forecast saying no chance of rain here for another week. Scorchio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorchio. I felt two drops yesterday. Being SSE facing on a decent chalk slope every day is a scorcher. Been trying to work in garden and I have to swap tee shirts every hour or so soaked in sweat. Tried without shirt one day and had a touch of sun sickness. Garden is very, very parched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here in East Kent, it last rained sometime in May too. Slight chance of rain in the coming week, but l'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter X Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 It's raining in Moscow. Big downpour as they were doing the awards ceremony at the end of the World Cup Final, and I notice that at first only Putin got an umbrella held over him, the presidents of France, Croatia and FIFA were left to get soaked. It was the latter, Gianni Infantino, who went over to hand the trophy to the French captain Hugo Lloris, something which I thought was traditionally done by the head of state of the host country, but maybe Putin was worried his umbrella holder man might not cover him if he went.

David Mack Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just had a torrential downpour in Hebden Bridge. About 20 minutes of very heavy rain. Not sure how much difference it will make to the level of the Rochdale though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuthound Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Had to use the wipers for the first time since May last night driving back from Alrewas. Only one swipe of the screen needed though, so not much help to gardens, crops or canals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned it from an old BBC LP called NARROW BOATS (I think) which I have long lost. Although not a canal song, it was apparently popular amongst working boatmen, singing in the canalside pubs. https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=13720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
