It's Raining, It's Pouring, The Old Man is...

It's Raining, It's Pouring, The Old Man is... sitting on the couch watching M.A.S.H on DVD.

Hubby has had the last week off work due to the rain and has slowly but surely been working his way through the box set he got for Christmas last year.  He is now under strict instruction that the theme music must be muted, after about 17 or more episodes I am sure you can imagine why.

We have had a lot of rain more than 200ml in the last week and just 3 dry days in the last 2 weeks. 

So as you can imagine,

The paddocks can not soak up anymore water,

And are turning into rivers,

The roadside gutters are full to the brim,

The roads go under and leave us cut off for periods of time,

The rivers are raging,

The rivers normally ankle deep, rise flowing over bridges and roads but thankful for now the have dropped leaving their high water mark on the river banks.

We always need a bit of rain but right now the washing is piling up and a few dry days would be helpful, and I am dreading the day the sun comes out and turns the neighbourhood into a sauna.
