| Ditch work being done at midnight outside my house. |
Serves me right for quoting Julian of Norwich in my last post.
The great flood. Well, things were really rocking and a'rolling here. After I went to bed, I could hear chainsaws and clunking noises, then engines revving. At about midnight I gave up and traipsed out to the street in my dressing gown to see what was the matter.
What was the matter was my neighbour had engaged a cat and they were madly ditching, while a river of water from the intense downpour coursed down our road.
Salt Spring Island is a bit of a mess and so is my yard, but I am slowly cottoning onto how widespread the flooding has been in some places. I am very sorry that the folks in Merritt in the interior of British Columbia had to evacuated, and that people were trapped on the Trans Canada Highway.
