Ok, so it's good for the grass, it fills up the rivers and reservoirs but I think we've had enough rain and I'm starting to get fed up with it. The environmentalists told us that this year was going to be the "year of drought" and were promising us it was going to last until December. Well they got it spectacularly wrong and perhaps they should admit it. Yes, I know the Jet-stream has now gone South for the summer and everyone South of it is having a great summer but, these people were very keen to forcast doom and gloom back in March.

I had been looking forward to a year of model making and spraying slot cars with differnet liveries but, that's a bit hard to do when it keeps pouring with rain. I use an outside workshop as my wife doesn't quite appreciate the spray paint smell in the house. The trouble is, my workshop isn't particularly big and when it is all shut up because of the rain, it actually isn't a great environment for me either. Yes I do wear a one piece coverall, googles and mask and the fumes are power-vented through a window but, the I can't do much with the damp atmosphere and the paint finish suffers accordingly.

So if there is anyone out there listerning; ENOUGH WITH THE RAIN!
