Rain

St_Aurafina, patron saint of falling over, gave me three things.....

This is a meme for which I can't find the original reference, but from memory, one accepts the challenge from the person who made it and receives three things to write about, of which one may or may not have any prior knowledge!  I believe I'm also supposed to offer three things to anyone else who reads this and wants to do likewise.

St_Aurafina gave me:  rain, apples, furniture.

( cut for long ramble about rainfall conditions )

So that means I try not to bitch about the rain even when I have to dodge it in order to put in this year’s broad beans and spinach, having hopefully shovelled in enough compost etc to improve the local soil.  “Bassendean sand” is a thing and well known in local plant nurseries, but I’m hoping it’s well enough saturated now to provide a decent crop.
