As I write this we have had 45 hours or relentless rain. It has over-topped the rain gauge 2 mornings in a row (rain gauge is 200mm - 8 inches) and I'm getting worn down by the audio assault of water hitting the aluminium tin can in which I dwell. My land is between 2 and 4 inches deep in water running off the hillsides above me and the electricity has gone off.
Scully turned up sometime yesterday and I didn't hear her imprecations to be let in over the drumming of rain on metal. (She whimpers - doesn't bark.) I only discovered her hiding under the caravan when I opened the door to retrieve a bucket.
We need a break and this is forecast to go on through tomorrow.

Too much of a good thing! I empathize! Rain here as well but not as intensely. Your land is gorgeous, a small price to pay to live there, I reckon, Poor little bedraggled Scully- a loud barking would be something to practice! I hope the rain eases up !
ReplyDeleteI wad thinking of you as I wrote it. I imagine your climate is similar to our west coast. I was born in fjordland where the annual rainfall is measured in metres! I hadn't expected it to be like this in the Marlborough Sounds.
