I think it's pouring everywhere in Korea right now. Here in Incheon it's raining cats and dogs. Ok...not literally!

It's about time someplace other than my neighborhood got all the rain. Woke up to blue skies this morning and it's noon now...some clouds but still a few patches of blue.

Checked out the Naktangkang yesterday and it's finally back in its banks.

So keep your lousy rain up there.

8 am yesterday the drain on my verandah that funnels rain from the roof of my villa (funky old plumbing) got plugged & my verandah quickly filled with a foot of water that overspilled into my bedroom & kitchen, inches deep. I had no idea -- I was in my livingroom where it hadnt gotten yet & my cat alerted me.

I got the drain open to stop new water but god what a mess. Apt manager who lives downstairs (nice woman) comes banging on my door. Waterfall in the stairway! Together we bailed for an hour & got it mostly mopped up. In the midst of that, a fiercesome crack of thunder (flash-bang!) knocks out the power.

Sodden bedding, some small appliances destroyed. Had to take up the flooring & had the ondol on full blast all day to dry out the concrete (jjimjilbang!) & I've been drying out the wallpaper with my hairdryer (which somehow survived being immersed) before I move the furniture back.

Fun.

We had an appointment at a photostudio this morning to get some baby pictures taken. We hopped in the car and about 5 minutes from the studio the road was closed due to flooding. This was in the MokDong area.

Yeah it's raining alot.

It's a great day for me to entirely run out of food. Sad But I guess as it's rained every day for weeks, chances were I was going to have to trek to the supermarkt in the rain.

What's the point in summer if you can't even go outside?! I miss Australia.

Paris Baguette on the ground floor baby! Woo-hoo.

Also, my perfectly legal extra lessons cancelled today and I always have an agreement with my students that cancellations must still be paid.

It's a beautiful day! Yeah! Woo-hoo!

*beep*, I'm bored.

We've had no rain for three days but for one brief five-minute downpour on Friday. I decided not to go to the mud festival because of the predicted rain.

It's been seriously strange.

Typhoon: no rain.

Typhoon passes: heavy rain.

Heavy rain forecast for all weekend: nary a drop.

Wind is kicking up now, though.

Sorry to lol

No apologies necessary. I had to laugh too, despite seriously just wanting to finish my morning coffee. Nobody got electrocuted!
