Decided to wash the car, you know more indepth than the usual bucket of dirty water thrown over the top followed by some rappid karate kid movements with a tired looking sponge. Got all the gear out done the wash, under bonnet got some attention, got all the dirt and leaves out, then dried, done under arches then started on the wheels and it began pissing down. 
Had to run in for cover....just as I was getting right into it. Was going to get the tar remover out & clay bar and SRP & wax afterwards.
Rain looks like its here for the night

I'm bloody sick of doing mine, specially as its harvest time and I stay right in the middle of the green belt so the roads are covered in mud from the tractors
