    Come on people, watering grass is praying for rain, given the thunderstorm out there right now, there were a lot of you at it.

    If we get a day or so of that, believe it or not we need up to 2.5 inches of rain to get back to "normal" soil saturation levels.

    Why would I water the grass? It only grows faster then and I have to cut it more often. I fcuking hate cutting the lawn.

    DAMN YOU GREEN GRASS!!!

    15.2mm of rain in an hour, few hours of that and we'll be grand again! :)

    And another 4.8mm before the rain stopped - 20mm in total! That 15.2 total was for the hour up to 4pm, the reading updates every hour...

    Why no, Officer. I fully respected the hosepipe ban.
