Rain Rain Bloody Rain

Dear Rain,
Waited for you long enough, now you won't go away!
Please vacate the immediate and upper atmospheric area between the hours of 7:30pm and 5:30am AEDST.
Please leave steady seeing behind you when you go.

Don't argue!
Annoyed by "RAIN"

I tried for a frustrating hour last night. The view to the south was OK for a while but fast moving clouds wore my patients down and I gave up at ~2230. It completely clouded over after that.
I'm going away tonight just for the one night so of course it will be clear tonight and cloudy again of Friday.

Ah It is pretty wide spread, we can also expect some dirty weather for a day or two, but i have to admit we have had some splendid nights, crisp and clear.

I wouldn't mind the clouds so much if it actually rained whenever there were clouds around.




Hang on, that would mean we would have continual rain
