Lightsome, Gladsome Elves A-Singing to Themselves
And all the afternoon
On iron roof and window-pane
It drummed a homely tune.
And through the night it pattered still,
And lightsome, gladsome elves
On dripping spout and window-sill
Kept talking to themselves.
It pelted, pelted all day long,
A-singing at its work,
Till every heart took up the song
Way out to Back-o'-Bourke.
And every creek a banker ran,
And dams filled overtop;
New South Wales rainfall - Daily
Moderate Flood Warning for the Murray River Upstream of Lake Hume

Re: Lightsome, Gladsome Elves A-Singing to Themselves
I'm not into poems, but that one was ok 
Luckily, WA is now also back on track for the August target, thanks to ALL the rainfull we had the last couple of weeks!!
BUT, it's still very far off the Dam level target.
Mmm, I'd rather it'd go back to raining, at least at night, so it wouldn't freeze! It's about 3 degrees! Brrrrrrr!!! (says me, the wimp)
