Be careful what you ask for

We have been asking for rain.  Today we got it, but I guess we must have ordered up the wrong sort.  We need a big downpour, hours and hours of it hammering down to saturate the earth and get to the roots of the poor wee thirsty plants.  All we got was a bit of drizzle that more or less evaporated before it ever hit the ground.  Oh well, work is proceeding on all fronts and  we have decimated the stocks of cement mortar at Jardi Leclerc.  In other news, we are catching up with the noughties by watching The West Wing for the first time.  Still on season one and enjoying 99% of it.
