Three on the trot

OK readers you've just got to accept that the Brit's and kiwis have an obsession with the weather. This weekend just gone has been the third weekend washout on the trot.


Yesterday was a celebration of rain and wind which bucketted down all day and then combined with some wonderful thunderstorms overnight. Lying in bed in the wee hours I was starting to imagine what it must have been like in Noah's arc.


You'll be pleased to know the drainage system in Kandallah has taken away most of the surface water but I suspect that travel on the trains this morning will be a little more difficult and plenty of slips around to clear up. The good news is though that it fills up the water resevoirs and rural rain collection water systems.


As a future owner of rain collected water for domestic purposes I have to develop a new attitude to rain. But for the moment I'm just fed up for being turned into a drowned rat everytime I open the door.
