no birdsong -
only strong rain drums
on my roof
Japan is full to the brink with rainwater ...
For the last three days, almost constant rain of the strongest kind.
西日本で豪雨、土砂崩れなど被害続く




I wake up from the pounding, after an almost sleepless night, the third in a row.
The grey umbrella shows we had
11 mm/h from six to nine this morning.
