It rained again today. 

With just a few clouds, a grumble or two

 and lots of sunshine peeking through

 the cloud above just opened and down it came.

 The gutters couldn't cope within seconds

 and the verandah hid behind sheets of water.

 Winnie and Wells (my old and trusted blues)

 found their safety corners behind the chairs.

 Souki (the saluki) lay on her bed on the back verandah

 pining for her sister Maggie (the borzoi) 

Poor Maggie was carted of to the vets today

 for the big operation...

No more phantom pregnancies for her!

Perhaps the drought

has really broken after ten long, long years!!!!!.
