Gosh, I'd forgotten grass was supposed to be green, it's a whitish yellow here protruding from a concrete like substance. My neighbour/cleaning buddy and I had a lovely walk home from the cats this morning in the warm rain. It was an absolute pleasure, t-shirt was drying as fast as it was ...... wetting!Coastalwatch said:Martyn1981 said:Two lovely June days here with high Hawaii's so far, but today the rain has just started, and whilst perhaps not PC for a generation thread, I'm very pleased and should rain all day.That's good news Mart, we're parched over here in the East so if you could divert some this way it'd be appreciated. A man's got to quench his thirst after all, not to mention turning the grass back to Green again.
