I'm off work today as I can't get out. The rain has flooded the 4 causeways I need to cross to get to the main road, there are landslides across some of the roads I need to travel up the mountain, one of the main bridges is flooded between here and there, the 17km of dirt road I travel are wet and treacherous, so I'll just have to stay home and read some good books.

Boy you should see our creeks!!!! Fwwooor!!! Talk about exciting. We had a huge downpour last night and the roar of the water going over the spillway of our dam woke me up about 3 a.m.. The towns on the ridges and mountains that surround our little valley and the main local dam catchment areas (Baroon Pocket Dam) that feeds the local main creek all received in the vicinity of 150mm in the 24 hours to 9:00 a.m. this morning, most of it after dark last night.

If it wasn't so cold (I'm a woose) I'd think about taking up white water rafting.
