Of drought and flooding rains

If it's not one thing, it's the other. This part of Melbourne is receiving steady rain (hooray!), while Gippsland is getting drenched. The combination of rain and lively southerlies have prevented me from going for my morning constitutionals along the waterfront. Yes, I am a sook. Let me be the first to say it.

And to add to the sookiness, I've been wearing a blood pressure monitor. (It's off now, thank goodness.) The cuff inflated at 30 minute intervals and it was bloody annoying. If anything were guaranteed to elevate my BP, it was that damned thing going off all the time. I wore it for 24 hours (so, not much sleep), finally ditching it at noon today.
