It won’t stop raining!

This morning I went to collect an item of furniture I bought on Ebay. It came from a house that was being refurbished, so was rather dusty. When I got it home, I took it all out of the car (it came in several pieces) and stood it outside to give it a good wipe down. It came up quite nicely. Then I went to look for an old towel to give it a wipe. Straight away it started raining. And not just raining but really pouring down! The rain splashed up lots of dirt onto my clean unit, and of course got it very wet - hopefully it will dry OK. But now every time it looks as if it’s going to stop and I get ready to tend to it, armed with old newspapers and towels, the rain starts pouring down once again!

Without rain England would not be England

I hope the rain did not damaged the furniture.

I hope that your new item does not suffer with all that moisture.

I wiped it all again and stood it on newspaper in the garage to soak up some moisture. It should be OK I think.

We seem to be having beautiful spring days, interspersed with miserable wet and windy ones, at the moment!

I truly hope all that wetness doesn’t ruin your furniture. Whenever we wash the car, it rains ASAP.

Typical! And you would think an extra rinse wouldn't do any harm, but of course it splashes up loads of dirt!

@Fleura I understand. The dirt got all over some flowerpots when it rained earlier.

You might want to wait for the rain to subside. It's sunny here today.

It has finally stopped now, and we had pink clouds at sunset - maybe that means a nice day tomorrow.
