Pent Up Weirdness

Does anyone even go on here anymore? Apart from Rachel and I, I mean. It's like, seriously deserted. I haven't been writing as often because of this.

You know, tomorrow will be the first assembly I've been to for like eight weeks. Interesting right?

Down to some serious shit, now. As you all know (I assume), there has been some major weather going on today. We were driving home in the car today after school, going along one of the roads between Sanson and Feilding, and we turn a corner, go up a hill and there! there's this huuuuge puddle in the road. It's like

fencegrass puddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddle grassfence.

The grass in the ditches is waving a bit, and the ditches are full of muddy water flowing into the next paddock, which is pretty damn wet already. There's actually no road there. It's just water.
No, there is a road. It's under the water and invisible, is what I meant to say.

So we drive up slowly and there's this guy in an army uniform and a little light-blue car on the road, and Mum pulls up and rolls down the window and he's like

"so my wife drove the car through the puddle and now the car is full of water and my boots are wet and the electrics are wet too, and I have to wait here so my mate can pick me up and we can figure out what to do with the car that my stupid wife flooded"

He didn't actually say that.
But it was close enough.

And Mum's like no way nuh uh I'm not driving through that, and she backs up the car about to turn around, and then this hard ass mother fucker in a blue truck drives right up and right on through the puddle, not stopping at all, just cruising on through. And then he's gone and the puddle (sea, lake, river) is all lapping at the sides of the fence, and Mum's like "was his car higher than ours?" and of course we say no.

And then the douche with the wet boots say "derp I just realised that your car is diesel and the electrics will be sweet as, so you can go now". His buddy drives up in a green truck and Mum goes through the puddle. And then we're all safe and dry as can be on the other side.

The farm is flooded too. There's no visible creek because it's basically a river now, and there are enormous puddles everywhere. The sheep got kinda stranded and Mum spent all afternoon wading around trying to save them, and she said that if it rains tomorrow like it did today, they could die.

I love floods. If only it didn't have to rain/I had an umbrella :)

    I just never write anything, because I can't be stuffed, and I use Tumblr, which is more fun.
