Perfect Timing

Yesterday I decided to get off my lazy arse and install the water butt I had bought weeks earlier. It had been taking up space in the porch and generally getting in my way but we hadn't had any rain for ages so I was using that as a half-hearted excuse. I'm very pleased with how it looks!

 

Then last night it, after weeks of sunny skies and hardly a drop of rain, it poured down. This morning I had to have a peek - I thought it might have been maybe a quarter full or so - but it's nearly full! How brilliant is that!
