It Poured with Rain

Day off Thursday.

The plumber was supposed to come to dig up my blocked stormwater pipe, the drain that drains away half the water from the roof of the house. He cancelled last week.

Rain was forecast and surprisingly I didn't hear from him.

It poured with rain. It deluged. Parts of Melbourne flooded. It was the kind of weather event that conservative politicians still deny has anything to do with climate change.

I kept waiting for it to come into the house due to the block drain. But it didn't.

Yay.

I like the rain. I like it when it rains. Even heavy rain. Heavy rain can be thrilling, it can. The power, the sound, watch it, feel it coming down. We can make happiness from the rain.
