Around Twenty Hours of Rain!

Horrid torrential stuff which teemed down from around 2 o'clock this morning and has just about stopped now all those hours later. We didn't get much in the way of sleep either as the noise of the water pouring and hitting the shutters was horrendous.

The whole island goes to rats when it rains.........a little like England does when it snows. The builders had the day off, lots of bars and shops closed and the roads were almost impassable.

I stayed in and caught up with some of my transcribing. Unfortunately, the internet went down this afternoon but the electricity managed to keep on going.

Brian, just in from walking Topsie, says that the sky is looking a lot clearer so maybe Sue and I will manage to get our day out tomorrow. Finger's crossed.
