The Rain It Raineth

Having blogged a few days ago about the lack of rain since I arrived and the worry about drought, I was chatting on the phone at 0030 this morning (to someone in the UK of course) when I became aware of a strange noise.  It took me a few minutes to realise that it was the noise of very, very heavy rain on the roof.  Where it is over the deck there is no insulation so it sounded incredibly loud indeed.   At 0700 this morning it is still raining, though slightly less hard. Hoorah.  So long as it stops for the BBQ tomorrow afternoon that is!
