The Rainman
May 26, 2010
Look, I’ve always appreciated a bit of rain hear and there….you know…like in PNG. Switched on for an hour of absolute deluge and then 23hrs of wonderful sunshine.!!
If you are from Sydney, you will understand my frustration with the current weather. It has NOT stopped raining for two weeks now! Aw heck I lie. It has stopped intermediatley…….but have you seen the sun lately???
So much for global warming, Strewth!!
When I was first re-born as a hearer I remember asking Katja:
“Hey! whats that drumming noise love?”
“Thats the rain Pete……haven’t you heard that before?”
“Wow!! Rain?! wow” I replied feeling like the pre-historic caveman when he/she first discovered fire.
Note, I add the she. Not to be politically correct but it just seems to make more sense if the cooks discovered fire before the dopey hunters…. Well it does to me.
And I remember thinking….”wow how cool is that!…Rain makes heaps of noise!!”
And now I’m thinking….”Bloody Rain! Driving me nuts!! TURN IT DOWN!!!”
For two weeks I have had to suffer, along with the 10 odd million other Sydney siders, the relentless noise of rain fillopping against the roof, the car, the hat, the umbrella….the skull!!
“Just take the Cochley Thingy off ” I hear you say.
Now THAT would be silly…I would’nt be able t hear then!!!
Anyway, till another raining day.
Cheers
Pete
