Rain, rain, go away

Couldn't resist posting this picture of
my regular gardening tools. They're taking
a much-needed breather as the rain has made
it near impossible to work outside. All the
newspaper headlines scream, "CITY LIFE
PARALYSED!" accompanied by pictures of people
caught unaware by the sudden onslaught. Roads
turn into muddy rivers. Cars remain stranded.
Despite the water level being shallow, water,
where it shouldn't be, is dangerous. How do you
fathom how safe you are? There could be jagged
pieces of metal or shards of glass in the water.
A bit of rain is always wecome but this deluge....!
