Fat rain

[HeyWayne]

I'm properly annoyed now!

Half an hour before I go home and someone decides to turn the rain tap on full blast - I reckon they cranked it up to 11 because I've never seen rain as fat as this! Fuuuge drops that'd sink a duck I reckon.

Obese Britain now has obese rain! What is the world coming to?

HW we have had same 'fat' rain here in the last two days... I thought it was a special offer....1/3 extra for same price!

They are huge drops and come in huge deluges causing huge puddles in seconds! most odd weather all in all.

its been a lovely day until about an hour ago and now chucking it down again!!! where the hell is summer??????

If only the rain would come at a predictable time. I'd be okay with a daily shower from say 9-11 am.

Absolutely beautiful here now, and quite hot as well. I'm waiting for the kitchen to cool down so I can marzipan some wedding cakes!

you know what i find really amusing ....... we've had some lovely sunshine and we've only had 2 rainy days in nearly 2 weeks (granted it was monsoon weather with horrendous winds and it blew 2 of my sunflowers over) but considering i live in manchester, it's funny ..... i've even got a suntan

It was lovely here this morning, son number 1 was running around and playing in the paddling pool and I managed to get some washing dry. Luckily I got it all in before the torrential rain and the thunder started. It's started looking a bit sunnier in the last few minutes but it's still raining. Apparently it's going to be sunny tomorrow and rain all weekend, great.

You can go off a person you know!

I went to pick up LadyWayne from the station and stop off at Tescos. I was sat in the car and tried ringing LW - I could hardly hear my phone over the rain. Anyway, LW didn't answer so I decided to make a run for it during a "break"*. Needless to say, by the time I made it to Tescos door I was soaked through - which LW found highly amusing when I met up with her in the biscuit aisle!

Looks quite nice out now but it's a measly 12-13 degrees C.

*see slight drop off in size of droplets

Did I mention I'm off to Tuscany in a few weeks?
