Jools Tinsley, a 62-year-old retiree from Caister near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, won £885.71 on the free online lottery, Pick My Postcode!
Jools, who has lived in Norfolk for the majority of her life, is retired from local government and now runs an Etsy shop, creating handmade crafts.

When asked how she planned to spend the winnings, Jools said: “We’d already decided to go camping together so as well as covering the pitch costs we’ll look after the cost for everything.”

OK, where is the rain that we were promised? The sun is shining and I'm about to go into the garden now that I've finished my coffee. Looks like that the beans, tomatoes and potatoes will have to be watered again. The containers and pots had a good soaking last night. Plenty of weeding to be done. Almost time for the mystery trip. I'm guessing the south east. We've had to choose the first night's dinner. I'm having soup, bolognaise and apple crumble.

@anng - Lin didn't want to go underground when I suggested it last time because she gets claustrophobic. Thanx for the museum suggestion though.
@A Nick Name - I'm a fan of Laphroaig whiskeys too but only got 10 YO, Lore & Select at the moment & none of my favourite Quarter cask. I drink & enjoy Penderyn but it's a very different whisky. I'm drinking more of the Talsikers lately.

I went out to try and buy deodorant from Farmfoods, 49p, not a single one left, and I got soaked, wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't sweating as well as it was so warm.
As for Penderyn, I like to try different whisky's and not having had Welsh I tried Penderyn a few years ago and felt it was so bad I took it back and got a refund. One of my favourites is Laphroaig.

In E Sussex for a few days, last night the rain came down in torrents and it went on and on until about 10 am. Temperature is still warm but feeling much fresher. Can't complain when the land has been in such need.

I got a little rain overnight/early this morning, so I won't need to water anything today. But I was hoping for more rain. I have a friend visiting me this weekend, so it would be nice if we had some sun, but not too hot.

Barrie: If you have not visited the underground mine on the Great Orme that is good for a wet day also the Llandudno museum, Home Front Museum and whisky tasting at Penderyn distillery.

It rained most of the night & continued (but lighter) this morning, It has now stopped & getting brighter.
We're off to Llandudno on Tuesday so Lin keeps looking at her phone & telling me it's going to be wet there. With my luck lately I'd already been expecting wet weather but thinking bout it last time we went we caught the bus to Conwy & it poured down that day.

I planned to do some outside painting at Dad's, but Mrs PAC was unwell so had to cancel.
As 'luck' would have it, the fine weather later turned to a quick but hard downpour.
Paint would've washed away !

We had some torrential showers yesterday, here in Wigan, and a couple more this morning. We need lots more, though, to top up the reservoirs and soak the ground

I once saw Russ Abbot and the Black Abbots sing this song at Ceaser's Palace in Luton years ago. The band would sing a line and then Russ would make a comment - all very funny. His response to Em's first line was "pissed again".
