rain, rain, go away

God, how much rain can the sky hold? It's been chucking it down for at least the last two weeks, almost non-stop. The Amber Rain Warning went up today (which means that if you're unlucky your block will slide down the hill from under you any time soon and you'll need a snorkel to get to the shops). Everywhere the roads are awash as it runs in torrents down the hills. The dog is suicidal - doesn't want to go out, crosses its legs and won't do the bizzo when we do go out; too keen to back in out of the downpour. The family are much the same, except that they do do the bizzo, and indoors, thankfully.The forecast say it's going to be the same tomorrow and for much of next week. Thank heavens the football's back on the telly.
