*Someone told me long ago* 
*There's a calm before the storm* 
*I know, it's been coming for some time* 
*When it's over, so they say* 
*It'll rain a sunny day* 
*I know, shining down like water*

We have seen the rain, lots and lots of rain, and now, hopefully it's gone for a while. Or at least long enough for everyone to play some football this weekend.

Last weekend was one of the craziest we can remember. Here's to hoping it stays that way.
