IT’S BEEN A wet start to the day for many parts of the country.  In fact, if you’re somewhere dry this morning, you are a lucky duck (which is ironic really, because ducks would love this rain, amirite?).

The good news is that the forecast says the rain will clear, and today will become drier and brighter.  Fingers crossed.
