Wet yesterday morning when I got up. Weather warning for thunderstorm (didn't get anything) giving showers on friday and saturday so glad I didn't mow any. Supposed to be dry today till thursday and it was raining while I took my daughter to playgroup. Fingers crossed for some nice weather for longer than 3 days
