Drowning

It's raining. Again. After clearing skies last night I awoke to sunshine and hope for a sunny day. I put the washing on, had a quick romp with the dogs next door and started attacking my sorely neglected garden. Back to the sky, pruning, I felt it. Drip, drip, splat, trickle, spatter, argh! Wetness, drizzling, seeping endless wetness. South of here there's extensive flooding - they've had over 500mm in three days. Last night my parents were near flooded in, the 4x4 just making it through where sedans lay slowly decomposing.

Wet washing hangs limply in the garage since Tuesday, prunings lie abandoned on the path. Sheets wilt with dampness and still it rains. *sigh*
