Floods of Fun

We've had pretty heavy, uninterrupted rain for almost 24 hours now and there's no sign of it letting up. We're used to Summer rainfall where we live, but not like this! Some of the main roads in the area flooded overnight and have been closed down. It's a public holiday in South Africa today, so I'm fortunately not working, which means no unneccessary driving in the rain.

The boys were delighted when they went outside this morning and found the flowerbeds had been replaced by muddy splash pools, which they took full advantage of for almost an hour. I left them to their own devices and dried them off on the patio once they were ready to come back inside, knowing that they would be cold and tired and ready to sleep... Method in my madness!

Paddington is now curled up in his blanket on the couch and Baloo is passed out on the floor in front of the tv, so I'll sneak upstairs and have a nice, long soak in the bath:)
