Rain. All bloody day.

But it's a relief.

I can count the number of days it's rained since January. There haven't been many: perhaps two at Ullapool, one on Eigg, two when I was in Fife, a spattering of snow at Coldbrook and none in my three weeks at Brownfield. It hasn't rained for 30 days.

So it's with mixed feelings that I've been working outside in the rain today. The land desperately needed it, but it got me wet too. F'ing soaked actually.

Bleugh!
