Oh, No, It's Raining Again...

As I'm sure I remember Rodger Hodgson singing plaintively about 20 years ago.
It's been fun to get out into a moistened garden - see that things won't die of thirst.
Alexander had a big day caving yesterday - went with Ian in search of the elusive "Bassett Rd" cave in Waipu - I think they found it!
He and Lois were in at Ak hospital most of the morning, so that he could have the "metalware" in his right elbow removed.
As I type, he and cousin Daniel are sat watch Terminator - light relief!
This is the last of my truly leisurely weekends, as next week I'm back into prep for the year ahead.
I am mastering the new tooth brushing techniques with the electric, the floss and the microbrushes - getting behind the teeth is tricky, especially with floss/microbrush.
Lois says to relax and go with it - easier said than done, but incremental progress is better than none.
As I finish here, Verdi's Requiem is blazing away in the background - if the music is anything to go by, Verdi's vision of "the afterlife" is very dramatic - just make sure you don't put a foot wrong in this one!
R.I.P.(till tomorrow),
Gerald.
