Me too ... we had the wettest July on record, and August is looking a little damp too ... but what the hell, the city is green and lush, the gardens look fantastic, as do the trees.

Re: weather??
I hate the rain makes my hair curly and none of my clients turn up ( i think some of them think they may melt)
I'm also intrigued by popping pitch!
