Can I doomsay about floods? We don't need too much rain, too soon. the ground's like iron, and it won't sink in, but run over the top. Flash floods are a nightmare. Lots, but spread out would be nice.

We had some wonderful thunder and lightening and a tiny sprinkle of rain, nowhere near enough for the farmer though

Been raining on and off all day. Thunder just started; seems quite close. I don't think we've suffered from the lack of rain up here as much as some of you further south - the fields and hills have greened up nicely in April, it was all looking lush even before this rain, and all the livestock is outdoors by now.
