I think it should be mandatory that everyone doing a rain dance should video it and post it here  ;)

some things are just not suitable for a forum like this.

I always thought people had to be naked to do a rain dance  :lol:

They could always cover 'sensitive areas' with your cabbage leaves  ;)

Is that why my dances never work then?  :unsure:

I have a public footpath between my door and my garden, so nudity is not an option  :ohmy:  :nowink:

According to Thomas Shakermaker the weather is set to be wet for the whole week.

I remember sitting in the pub garden in Hartley Wintney watching a group of 'local' Red Indians doing a rain dance in 1976, they certainly weren't naked.  Rain started two days later!

Well I'm sticking to fully clothed rain dances - it's worked for me - loads of rain today and more to come  :tongue2:

And I'll skip the video post as well...........that would be too scary for anyone of a sensitive disposition  :lol:

Hardly enough to wet the pavement here.  It was all around us but not nearly enough fell here.  Drove to the Cotswolds earlier and it poured down.  ::)

Might just have to dance "butt naked" to fill the butts.  :closedeyes:

Don't know if there is a law against that, but there ought to be. :lol:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

It's kept me busy today belting in and out with the washing!  :tongue2:

Saved on watering time? Yep as I keep hoping for that promised solid downpour but the garden's still dry.  :(

Seems to be coming in fits and starts. The ground was wet when I got up this morning but I'll wait until I've put a spade into the ground just to see how far its penetrated :unsure:

Loads of rain here.   I got absolutely soaked walking the kids back from school.  They were lovely and dry in new pac-a-macs though  :D

I'm up to the plot after I've dropped the kids this morning - want to see how things have come on - not managed to get up there since Monday.....
I might just have a few courgettes marrows to pick!
Lotty holder since Aug 09... I've FINALLY finished clearing it! On with the p.lanting  ....
