Every vessel possible

Mrs B had every one of her water vessels out in the monsoon rainstorm this morning.  The rain was of course welcome but we felt justified in having done some watering early yesterday morning, preparing the soil, as it were.  As a result the water seems to be soaking the ground rather than running off into the drains.

Unfortunately, heavy rain tends to show where our gutters need emptying, and of course I have to wait for the rain to ease before climbing a ladder to clear the filters in the tops of the downpipes.  But it's another job done for a month or two.
