Lucy and the football

I feel a little like Charlie Brown this week.  Much like Lucy tormented him by holding the football and snatching it away at the last minute, the weather is teasing me.  Since the last deluge on Sunday, it has been clear, albeit somewhat cooler than normal.  The forecast is for more of the same and even warmer as the weekend approaches.  Unfortunately, just as the back garden gets almost dry enough to work, it promises a shower on Sunday.  We  really need about 2 more weeks of dry weather, but Lucy, aka Mother Nature is going to pull the ball away again.
