Title: Omens portending next project

It seems the last week or so has been an almost continuous heavy deluge of rain, noisily overflowing the gutters and flooding the roads.  Is this an omen to say I should stop current boat building and start work on an Ark instead?  This looks to be in for at least 40 days.

Has been a total nightmare down here too. I came back from Sunny Scotland over a week ago with a slightly damp tent I need to dry out - that's not going to happen any time soon! :(

Saw a program on History Channel last week about the Ark, apparently it was no more than a giant coracle, which when you think about it makes more sense than the traditional view of a boat hull with a house on the top :-) They even built one 20ft in diameter in India to prove it could be done.

48mm of rain here today they say, with slightly more in one day less than a week ago, plus it seems to have been raining at lesser force for much of the time in between.

I can only assume that Rob McKenna (from Hitchhikers Guide) has been driving his lorry in this area all week.
