Good grief. It has rained and rained.

There is flooding, roads are closed, the wind is howling and the rain keeps pouring.

We are supposed to go away in the caravan tomorrow - well today actually, but we delayed our departure for a day. Stayed home and lit the fire. We have to be in Timaru for my sister's wedding anniversary on Thursday lunchtime. Then off to the back country to try fishing - at last.
