We too, in the UK, have had the experience of rain again. The country as a whole has had only 14% of it's normal April rainfall, only 2% has fallen on London. People don't believe me when I tell them we've had next to no rain since the middle of March.

Of course, May Bank holiday saw the official start of Summer so now it's poured down every day!

I was watching the news last night (something I rarely do) for news of the Florida fires, not a mention. Even on Sky/CBS news which puts it into 2 categories, USA and RestofWorld, there was not a word.

If you want, I can reopen the Extreme Weather Tavern we had a month back.... come in and wet yer whistles on Bert.
