Own up!

Who ordered rain? The forecast for the next five days was dry as a mummified mouse. And now it pours. Whoever you are, own up.

I'd like to know that too. There I was, busy enjoying the first few days of proper spring weather when not half an hour ago that nice young man on the news just ups and announces a week of rain, starting with Saturday. Which I wouldn't mind given the local dams are only 56% full except I know that what we will almost certainly get is one decent day worth of rain spread across six or seven.

Shortly after I moved to Brisbane in 1996 I gave my car a well needed wash. What started the following day was torrential downpour that lasted day and night for 10 days until it was the worst floods the city had seen for 25 years with most of the suburbs cut off. And the incessant sound of rain on the roof 24/7 almost drove me insane!

In the end I had to admit culpability... and never washed my car in that city again.
