I certainly have. The rain has been my key preoccupation for a couple of months now. This week our region had record rain once again. It seems to be a regular event.
Water entered the ground floor of our split level home via an upwelling around the piers as well as from around the concrete slab upon which the ground floor rests. It is not coming in via the doorways or garage door. The water is seeping up through the clay and soil. I assume the water table has now risen following the end of several years of drought. What to do?
I was up all night on Monday through to Tuesday morning monitoring the water levels downstairs. I spent the rest of the evenings this week catching up on rest. If I was on the Internet I was probably checking in on the Bureau of Meteorology web site and its excellent radar. It is raining as I type.
The image above was captured after the previous full stop. I have not been able to make the time to blog or to sift through the posts in Google Reader this week. This morning, I managed to get some time to go through the posts. There were more than 400. I marked all of the posts from the commercial blogs as read and focused on the K-12 and other education blogs. There are only seven unread posts now. The rain is still coming down. Sigh.
One year ago we were crying out for rain. Now we need a break from the rain.
