Pretty miserable here too.

That's cricket for you though. Wimps! Why can't they just play in the rain like any other game? It would make it much more exciting.
Having played cricket in the rain I can say it has a high risk factor. Still they're professionals. Went for run earlier, might as well of stood in the shower. I was so wet I couldn't peel my rugby shirt off my back. For those of you watching in black and white it was yellow.
I've played in a couple of cricket matches almost blind drunk, which I would say is as least as risky as playing in the rain. Ask Freddie if you don't believe me.

If you're playing Risk Cricket then I'm invading Kamchatka with two armies and a googly.
A good game to play when you're both pissed and it's raining is Swingball. And nude Twister.

Doesn't nude Twister involve Swingball as well?
And, if you're not careful, it can involve the need for the morning-after pill.
I was just awoken by thunder and the sound of pouring rain. Glorious, much-needed rain.
Sunny, warm and shiny here. 
Weather Smeather!
