Minor ray of hope!

So yesterday we had about 4 hours without rain - until we were just about to go to sleep when the Heavens let loose! Thunder, lightening the whole lot. By the time we got up this morning it had stopped, so I've had a walk and still the roads are clear but the water level has gone up about a inch. What we don't need is any more rain but by the look of the sky there's a bit more to come.

These photos were taken around 10am and it's now 12pm.  We've had about 15 minutes of rain but now the sun is out and it's very muggy.  Best news is the washing from Monday has dried, so some more has gone out.  I've also met Mr John for coffee up the road whilst he had a break in classes.  Fingers crossed there's no more rain for at least a couple of days!
