Raindrops keep falling on my head

Well, winter seems to have finally arrived here in Brisbane. Up till now, you would hardly know it was winter. Blue skies, sunshine, temperatures in the low to mid 20s (in the 70s on the Fahrenheit scale), everyone still getting around in T-shirts.
In fact, the only real clue as to the season so far has been the wonderful aroma of wattle blossoms wafting into the car as I drive to work. But today it's actually chilly and it's been raining all day...could this be the end of the drought?
There was a story on the news the other night. It had been raining out west...very welcome rain that had been falling for two days...and there were kids out there who had never seen rain! Hard to comprehend, isn't it...all these 3, 4 and 5 year olds who had no idea or experience of rain...
