Quick couple of facts for the city slickers who read this.

4 points equals 1mm

100 points equals 1 inch

1 inch of rain equals a major celebration here.

We got 11mm last night (45 points) - that’s the second time it’s really rained all year. First time was in January now in April.

All the reports say that we live in an area that should expect 9-12 inches a year - looking at my neighbours personal rain log, the average over the past 20 years has been 7 inches.

Ain’t it grand living in marginal farm country.
