The rain it raineth every day

In a huge storm our gutters overflowed and torrents of water ran down the windows. According to the forecasts it is going to rain all the way to Christmas. It’s not what you expect of a Highlands Christmas.
 
A greater threat to Christmas plans, though, is the new Covid cluster in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. That area is in hard lockdown, and the whole of Sydney is in soft lockdown. Some state borders are closing.
 
It just shows how quickly things can change. We feel so sorry for all those people whose Christmas plans have been plunged into uncertainty or cancelled.
