It rained all through January, apart from one week of deep snow. It snowed
again yesterday … and yes, it’s raining yet again today. Sigh …
FLOOD WATERS
it’s happened again 
pouring down rain
blurring window pane
no view of the lane
or flooded plain
the blocked drain
creates a strain
on the water-main
we’ll have to restrain
the gush what a bane
it might take a crane
which sounds mundane
but would lift terrain
without any pain
and would surely retrain
the flow of the rain
A Bedroom of Searchlights’: poetry. This collection draws a picture of the poet’s divorced mother, an artist with two children, who struggled with poverty, war, and the realities of daily life, yet still found beauty and comfort in her garden, and her art. From Inanna Publications, 2016. 
Sounds grim. We have had a pretty mild winter. More heavy rain – some got into the house, but not on your scale. Antony

It was dismal, and is today. Hasn’t started raining quite yet, but it’s coming.
There’s been serious flooding on the Island, people rescued from flooded homes,
losing their homes, roads cut, lives lost … Worst flooding in 50 years.
But we’ve aconites out so it’s not totally awful:-)
depressed by the rain, prefer to shovel snow myself, good exercise
I think most people get depressed by continual rain:-)
