...and it rained

and rained and rained and rained and rained. Seriously, I've never seen so much rain in all my life as the amount of rain that rained today. Like, wow. I mean, people said that the rainy season was, well, rainy, but they never said anything about sheets of water from the sky like the world's largest power shower.
Case in point - I'm cycling up to the nearest supermarket for some stuff, and it's raining, so I'm wearing my snowboard jacket. After i do the shopping, and start to come home, the rain starts to hammer down so much that the pavement is almost immediately an inch underwater. I'm wobbling all over the place, trying to get home, and a big truck ploughs past me, throwing up the sort of water that I assumed was one of those film tricks and could never exist in real life. I'm covered in about 5 gallons of water, which would have been a real arse had I not been completely drenched already.

At least it's good for the plants...
