Haven't had any rain, so far , and its sunny and slightly breezy now. Would like some overnight rain, if someone can arrange that please?

How does a blizzard of hailstones suit you?  That's what I have had to work through at the plot.  Sheltering in the greenhouse brought back memories of holidays in a caravan when it rained!

You've reminded me of a friend who always holidayed with his in-laws, in 2 caravans, somewhere on the North Wales coast. Every night he would throw bread onto the roof of the in-law's caravan. The gulls would scrabble around gathering up the crusts overnight, disturbing the in-laws sleep. Every morning the in-laws would ask if they'd heard the noise in the night and he'd tell them how they'd had a quiet night. They always slept well on holiday!
Don't suppose you were the in-laws?

No rain here either, unfortunately, but very windy. They forecast 4-5° temps tonight. Not a lot can be done about the tender stuff already planted.

Thanks, the garden needed it. Although I wish you'd waited until I'd got off the golf course!

Lots of rain over night here, five minutes of sunshine this morning, then heavy rain again. The garden looks like it's just stood up after crouching and hunching for so long. And it smells...... beautiful outside
