Wet Christmas is coming

Well we are well on the way to Christmas 2019. This is the second out of 8 years that i have enjoyed Christmas here in Portugal. But this is the second year that it's rained and rained and rained.  Here at the side of the roads are gullies to take the water away. Unlike in the UK where the drains where main so long ago and not maintained that you get floods.

Here in Portugal we don't get floods because the Portuguese people have learnt from years and years of dealing with the rain in the winters and now there is little problems.

Small dried up streams that had been dry most of the years suddenly become a flowing torrent and after a while it all goes back to normal. The main problem is the Clouds they drop there rain and when they are empty more take there place and the empty clouds just go off and refill.

The last week when the rain started it didn't stop for about four days and when it stopped it was only for a few hours when it soon started agin.

Oh well the summer is coming
