I have no right to complain about rain. We have had more than our share of it but it's running off into the sea. My power is off meaning no heating but the temperatures are mild - we just can't attempt to dry clothes and boots. (Continuous 99% humidity has a lot to do with that.)
Meanwhile in other parts of the north of this island people are losing their homes, their livestock, their livelihoods, farms and businesses.
Do a Google search on "flooding NZ" or "flooding tasman marlborough" to get a grasp of the extent of it.
Like the cat (do you know the song about the cat came back - the very next day...?) the dog came back. She has a house (on pole foundations so no risk of flooding) and a family and a fireplace and dog food and....every time I deliver her home she turns up back here an hour or three later.
And it's still raining - 66 hours and counting. I reckon Noah and his crowd would have been at one another's throats by now in a floating caravan with all their farm animals and we are only 3 days into a biblical flood.
