Through the glass darkly

Or in this case through the windscreen of the car, between wipes by the wipers. Flooded paddocks, and fences. These paddocks used to drain but since the earthquakes there is a solid layer of liquefaction under the soil which stops the water draining away.

Had to work, so no time for thinking - and no energy for thinking afterwards. And it's still pouring.

Is it ever going to be fine again?
