    But it was thunder and needless to say started spitting long before I got back. Real stuff didn't start until I was close to home though so only got a bit damp.
    We're supposed to be getting some overnight. I won't hold my breath...

    I think I know the Chinese you mean. I used it once when I was down visiting you. Pretty good

    Dunno how much longer the sogginess will continue. I don't actually mind being out in the rain, but the dogs do!

    Still raining and I really need to go shopping. It is a bit brighter than it was so maybe it will stop.
