This morning the sky was grey and it felt as if it would be raining anytime soon. It had rained in the night and the water butt by the street already has a couple of inches of water in it.
Luckily the rain held off until the afternoon when things turned quite stormy.
I managed to get a couple of hours at the zoo during which I cut back the last buddleias, shared the cut branches between all the different pens of goats, weeded a short gravel path and weeded a flowerbed by the wolf-dogs.
The ewes in the field on the other side of the zoo's fence have been busy. Last week there was only the occasional bleating of a lamb in the distance but this week the air was filled with the high pitched bleating of many lambs and the deeper replies of their mothers.
When I got home I disconnected a small water butt that I don't need at the moment to reuse one of the fittings and the connecting hose to make an overflow pipe for the large water butt by the street. That's two less things to buy.
I'll be off to Pilates this evening and I suspect that I'll be driving. There's no point in arriving absolutely soaked.
