Yesterday's deluge gave us 83ml of rain! We had one of those amazing thunderstorms last night where there was almost constant lightning, and we could see a few rivers of water running through our yard. We have lost some of our driveway again, but nothing more. And we're trying to use water in the house because the tank isn't coping very well with the overflow! I'm thankful to be out of town, as it has been split in two by the flood waters (some parts of town had 160ml of rain), and there are reports of damage to houses in town. The fabric shops are on this side of town, though, so I'm set.... (just kidding!) A friend told me that they're looking after some sheep in their backyard after the field across from them flooded! And still the rain comes....
Last night we stepped out of the house and could hear two things: the chorus of frogs enjoying the rain, and the roar of flood waters going down the street.
And now for brunch: I sautéed some mixed berries with banana and honey and spread it on home-made bread toast... Mmmmm...
Extra prayers today for the people in India experiencing strife, and those in the world experiencing floods that wash away their entire livelihood.
