falling on my head like a new emotion

[extemporanea]

This city nearly washed away on Sunday. The new parking garage behind the Pick'n'Pay has clearly been designed by incompetent desert-dwellers who don't grok this weird Cape Town "rain" business, because it was about a foot under water when I tried to park there on Sunday afternoon. Either that, or aliens stole all their drains. I believe that Camps

Do you have access to the Steerswoman books? They are epic, and ginormous, and have a hidden sekrit too, which makes me very happy. Unfortunately they aren't quite done yet. The existing ones take you on a pretty good journey though.

Oooh, never heard of her! love hearing about authors I've never heard of. I'll dig around for copies, the setting sounds interesting and thoughtful.

Now you've got Here Comes the Rain Again firmly lodged in my brain.

I quite enjoy the fact that we've both posted flood pics recently. London: "OMG summer rain!1" >FLUD< Cape Town: "OMG winter rain!1" >FLUD< I'm just waiting for the autumn leaves to clog up the drains here.

There are worse ear-worms :>. I toyed with the idea of using "the rain came down and the floods came up" as a subject line, upon which you would have been haunted by that silly Sunday School song instead of Eurythmics - definitely a let-down! Fortunately I've used it before so you escaped.

It's still raining here. From my office window the city is dark, damp and grey and cars drive past with that lovely watery "swish".
