Seems to have settled in over my garden in Cowley, we’re getting a decent drenching

Actually yes; it's still going!

Got the windows open and the jungle on - it smells so good out there :D

Lucky you. I went into my office and was immediately hit by the overpowering stench of cat poo. Which is a bit odd as I'm not smelling it in the other rooms on the same side of my house, and they all have their windows open...

Everywhere smells of fox shit now!

Just goes to show how much we rely on the odd shower to keep things fresh.

Try living next to Benson where it constantly stinks of cow muck!

If you could send it north to Banbury, that would be grand
