And the Piglets are entirely surrounded by water.
Checking the rain-gauge brought only heartbreak. >100mm is all I can record. The chicken-run is a river; all the neighbourhood dams are overflowing in torrents. I guess the water-tanks are full, but I'll be buggered if I'm going out in the rain again to check. The veggie garden is awash, though coping quite well - I did not see any serious damage, despite the dam near the house overflowing through the veggie garden. It was quite carefully designed so that the overflow goes through the middle where I planted only permanent herbs, avoiding any of the veggie beds.
The road out is flooded - local farmers are tractoring out the cars of people foolish enough to attempt the crossing. And here's me without a supply of Scotch laid in :-O
