Rain, rain go away . . .

I don't know if I've mentioned to anyone or not, but the rain here during the month of November has been unreal! In fact, it's been raining in County Fermanagh for the past 34 days and counting, and the water level in the Lough closest to me is at it's highest level since records began (in the 50s)! And I get to be here for it . . . how lucky I am! haha!

Plus, did I mention I work outside every day? I'm telling you, my luck just keeps getting better and better. I am quite happy I invested in that Gortex jacket though - it really is a life saver!

I can't complain too much though. In Cumbria (the North west of England) they have had absolutely unreal rainfall amounts this week. One area had over 300mm of rain within 24 hours - that's over a foot! By contrast, the highest amount of rainfall we've had here in a day was just over 33mm. Not too shabby!

In more exciting news . . . JenMac might be coming to visit next week! Yay!
