Singing in the Rain, ...
"It was quite amazing to experience rain again," Mrs Bishop said. "It's incredible, because it's even greened up a bit today. "It's like the grass is ready to jump out of the ground."
Mr Bishop said the rain was just in time because they were absolutely desperate for feed, with quality hay running out throughout SA

Re: Singing in the Rain, ...
Last night was my first night of rain since I arrived a few weeks ago.
Don't get me wrong, I understand exactly why it's good that it rained, but "bloomin' noisy" was all I could think when I tried to get to sleep. Definitlely going to get a house with a tile roof when we buy! :-)
