    Constantly falling rain since 8 o’clock. Have already shifted 60 l from the GH butts into the 200l but which was filled with 90l yesterday. The two GH butts are full again. Need to go down again and shift another 50l. The 200l will be full by then. Just inside 18 hours, not bad.

          5mm rain overnight after another pretty much dry week. The forecasts show more rain today but at the moment it's just grey and still.

            As it’s so damp and humid, I’ve put my tumble dryer on and the de-humidifier. After years of doing the sums re energy costs, we’ve decided that minimising humidity is worth a bit of cost. We are frugal with heating though.

              Totally agree. I couldn’t get the washing dry yesterday that I had done Saturday afternoon and which started to dry in the sunshine.
              Yesterday, I turned the heating on for an hour just to get rid of the dampness and dried most of it on the heaters.
              It’s not worth saving money on one end, and the wasing never dries and starts smelling. We had yesterday 70% humidity inside
