rain? what rain?

the weather bureau forecast bucketloads of rain for today. batten down the hatches, secure small dogs and canaries and make sure Granny wears spiked shoes kinda rain. ha.

from the sharpness of the shadow above it should be pretty clear that skies are as well (clear, that is) and there ain't a whole lots falling other than the occasional dehydrated bird

got my fingers crossed hoping for the prophecy to be fulfilled despite all indicators to the contrary...
