Rain, rain go away…

Who said Australia was in a drought? As I write this it is currently pouring outside, and has been all morning (fun for walking to classes!). This is probably the heaviest I’ve ever seen it rain here, but regardless it hasn’t been sunny everyday here. Melbourne is bizarre in that you can see sun in one corner of the sky and it can be raining on you. The random and unpredictable showers have the habit of catching you out…generally when you have two hands full of groceries. Back to the original thought of Australia drought, I can’t conceive that this country could be in a drought with the amount of rain we’ve experience just in the last 4 weeks. The water restrictions (they say 4 minute showers, no washing cars etc.) seem a little extreme. On the bright side though (excuse the pun), the sun-shower mix means that we’ve seen some pretty intense rainbows—in fact quite a few.
