Journal. Rain

At long last we have the rain. The forecaster's had been promising the rain for almost a week now and at last on Saturday it arrived. 50mm... 2 inches on Sunday and heavy showers since.

The barometer is starting to climb again I see today. John and Edith headed up to Northland this past weekend I believe. They will be coming to stay with us this coming weekend or perhaps Monday for (perhaps again) a week or so.

Gillian came over on Friday to take Caitlin for another scan of her leg. It is progressing well. Another scan to be taken in 3 months time. A nasty business.

Gillian stayed 2 nights, taking the opportunity to do some Hamilton links here shopping on Saturday despite the heavy rain.
