Thanks Mark, really appreciated that.. 
Always wondered what that thing was,, we don't see that much of it here so have forgotten what it looks like,
Do you know we are all growing skin between our toes now, waiting for it to start on my hands.. 
Apparently they say rain is good for our gardens, I'm thinking of changing my garden for a fish pond, the amount of water I'm getting in it would be relatively easy I think..
Anyway, enough of my rants on the weather..
Good to see a healthy forum and plenty going on.
