quicko: november showers

We're a bit past them now, but here's something:  it rains in Australia in the spring time.  Every year.  Quite a bit.  And yet every year the Australians (Sydneysiders in particular) forget this and wail bitterly.  "It never rains like this!" they cry.  "Our city is always sunny and lovely -- and this!"  (Here they give up in disgust.  Rain makes everyone grumpy here.)
