Nothing staggering - just 20 mm of rain, that’s 5
mm short of an inch if you’re not metricated yet,
but it is a great boon when there’s been nothing
but zero readings for ten weeks past; certainly a
dry Spring this year - already bush fire warnings
and drought concerns are redolent - again you’ll
mutter - when’ve they ever been off the list; this,
though, is the season of pessimism, isn’t it -
Well - the old-timers mumble something about a
November change when it gets cold again - with
rain out of th’ West like an evil spell adrift; if that
suggests there’s a plot against us then there’s a
need to reflect on positives - if something amiss
is worth getting miffed about - migrate West
Where you eat optimism for drought relief
