and the rains came



















There have been some fantastic thunderstorms across the city in the last couple of weeks and the downpours have been of monsoon preportions - so much so that the lower road that runs a long either side of the river bank has flooded and not been useable for the last couple of days

On Saturday, whilst walking a long the top passed the chain bridge, I noticed that there were a team cleaning up the silt that had covered the road as the water returned to the river - only problem being that on Sunday evening we had another great downpour and I suspect that they will be out there again doing the same thing in a couple of days!

On Friday evening, to cap it all off, there was a power outage that affected at least half of the 9th District with most of the bars and restaurants being candle powered and groups of people wandering around the district looking lost! Luckily it was all back on by Saturday morning but it did mean an early night!
