Rain!!!

What is that sound? That's right it's that now very unfamilar yet comforting sound of rain on a tin roof. I'm sitting here in my living room in Melbourne and it is actually raining. Now this wouldn't be such a big deal of course if it wasn't for the fact that it just hasn't really rained since I moved here, until last week that was...We had a massive downpour on Friday night/Saturday morning and now more rain today and it's starting to feel like Wellington - sorry couldn't resist that dig.

It's amazing what a little rain can do for a dry and parched place. Suddenly things are growing again, the grass has a green tinge again and maybe just maybe the water storage will increase this week for the first time in ages. Rain, hate it or love it you know you can't live without it...
