This is one of those rural things. Rain gauges, that is. A few Christmases ago I bought John a rain gauge for Struan Farm. His dad always had one outside near the swimming pool, but that disappeared a few renovation projects ago, along with the pool.
But what I've found living in Piopio is that when it rains, everyone talks in millimetres: "we got 10," "we only got 5," etc. I haven't been able to do that, saying instead "we got quite a bit." Not exactly talking the talk, were we?
Until now that is:
We got a much needed 30!
