Glass might be half full locally but but drought remains a big issue

According to hair experts, this cannot actually happen, but I’m for ignoring the experts on this one, because the notion of overnight bleaching has such a drama to it. Imagine arriving in to work and being complimented on your dye job, only to announce that chemicals were not involved. People would be so astonished. And impressed. Especially those who had minimised the event earlier on, who could now be punished by you doing a bitter shrug and murmuring that you did tell them it was an awful experience, and here’s the platinum proof.
It was like that, outside and inside, when the rains came. Inside, because I live in an old house, leaks spurted from the usual places and from brand new places. It was buckets to the right, buckets to the left. One of the leaks happened directly over a cat who had come in for shelter, who sat there on the kitchen floor with drops belting off its skull, complaining the way it did a few weeks back when I tried it with a new cat food. I had to lift it and shift it in order to replace it with a bucket and even then, it took it a while to stop whinging.
