Change of Plan

What a day yesterday turned out to be.
We had great plans.  We had done heaps the day before and had decided to do two hours each together working on the front.  Which happens to look like a jungle at the moment.  The sort of place where elephants go to die.
Anyway that was the plan.  The day had started out blue and clear.  We had a few things to do before we started outside and by that time it was very overcast.  In fact the rain told us maybe indoor activities were the go.  It was not raining so bad, but enough to make us feel venturing out was not such a good idea.
Good decision really.  Later on it really rained.  I have not seen rain like it before.  No wonder places flood in a hurry.  I emptied out the rain gauge at 110 mil.  I reckon we had 75 mil in 30 minutes.  I was on patrol around the place making sure water was not getting into the home.  It was not.
So what did we do?  We declared it a day off.  We watched tele and had a sleep.  Of course when we were asleep it was not raining.  But when we got up it was.  Go figure.  We watched a movie.  It was a bit of a tearjerker and I have determined that since the stroke I cannot disguise tears well.  I chose to look away and pretend I  was unaffected, but I reckon noises I made and the tears gave it away.
I did some writing, reading and listening to music after that.  It was a good day but nothing like we originally had in mind.
Of course today dawns beautiful.  There was blue sky everywhere but it is closing in like it did yesterday.  We are told today will not be as bad.  But honestly who knows.  There was no warning of what transpired yesterday.
But today is another day that has its own challenges.
