I’ve been able to put off so many little jobs until next year

Just had 4 sunny days in Rome. Off to the airport home. Hope it’s stopped by now!
Football and rugby pitches everywhere are barely useable unless they've got proper drainage installed. So I suspect we really have been getting way more rain than usual in Autumn.

According to someone I know who is a groundsman, Eastbourne had the highest rainfall in November since records began, ie since 1910, apparently.

my u13s boys team has played 2 games of football this season...… absolutely no chance of this weekend being on either. Then the pitches will be frozen come January....

We've had similar problems - 3 children normally scheduled for 9:00-10:30 training moved randomly each week to hourly slots across the morning on the local 3G or, worse, at the other side of town.
Golf course has been basically shut for weeks (when open, it’s only been part of it, and the open bits have been so muddy as to be virtually unplayable). I reckon this week will have pushed proper opening well into next year now, even without any more rain. Must be hitting them incredibly hard financially.
Played at Waterhall a few times recently instead (great value, and drains incredibly well) where it’s basically dry............but that’ll be closing down at the end of March by the look of things.

On the other hand. it's been great for rugby. Lovely soft pitches and opportunities to slide in for tries. The girls played their first floodlit match last night, ended up caked with mud but loved it.

FFS rain - enough already! 
It's so wet and cold out there today, as was yesterday, there are huge puddles sitting on the A27 past Brighton and Hove.
This following the beautiful spring weather of Tuesday.
