For the record, yesterday only a few hours after I posted my plea for more significant rain a period of precipitation began. By 7.00am this morning some 26mm had fallen here and the soil is now thoroughly soaked. More rain is forecast this evening and still more over the weekend and into next week. It would be churlish to complain but it would be nice if the weather gods could provide a mixture each week instead of great dollups of either hot and dry or wet and cold that go on for ages. Perhaps, in the meantime, I should modify my electronic demands. The trouble is if you wish for something too hard you sometimes get it. And that can cause as much touble as the original problem.
