Well, we'd had quite a bit of rain, mainly in sudden squalls that broke up the sunny periods. For the last day or so, however, we've had RAIN. Probably at least 50 - 75mm or more, driven in heavy sheets by gale+ force winds. Just lovely. As my Beloved woud say, "It's a harbour day."

There's also a variant called a 'golden kiwi' that costs a bit more. It has a bit of a lemony tang to it and is quite nice. (I still prefer the old fashioned green kiwis.)
