Rain

Walked up to the shops this morning & took my camera thinking I'd get some shots of "my town" while I did some errands for mum. Well these two are all I got before the heavens opened and down came the rain. No pleasant little autumn shower either. Torrential rain - drain covers in the middle of the footpath "popped" and spewed like geysers, the gutters on the verandahs flowed like waterfalls & as I waded through the puddles I had to wonder where all the good karma had disappeared to. Afterall, there am I being the dutiful daughter & what do I get - wet to the bone. And what do I get from her as I turn up at her door like a drowned rat? "Seeing as you're wet already could you check the letterbox & don't sit on the couch until you put a towel down." She's a charmer!!
Still, with this view out the window & SKY giving the perpetual "rain fade" message, it was a good excuse to stay in for the afternoon & scrap. I've been playing with the BG Blitzen papers & experimenting with my stamps & embossing powders. Mostly just making a mess but still preferable to actually using the kitchen to cook in!

Tomorrow will be a better day, tomorrow will be a better day ... hopefully a ladies day out down to Pokeno to take mum shopping ... if the road hasn't washed out!
