Raindrops keep falling on my head

DID anyone watch the Ben Stiller/ Jennifer Aniston classic: Along Came Polly recently? The universe totally eavesdropped on that basketball game scene between Stiller and his movie bestie Philip Seymour Hoffman but only took the “let it rain” part to heart?

- KERRY-ANNE ALLERSTON

I’ve never seen so much rain in my life and I've lived in the United Kingdom a whole bunch.

Just when you think it’s moving on like a flock of birds migrating for the winter, it just doubles back. Interestingly, a flock of birds is also sometimes referred to as a cloud. Gees Louise, imagine that!

There’s also a whole lot of talk about cloud seeding because of how much rain we're getting in our lovely Jozi and I didn’t have a clue what that meant. Did you? I’m not asking the proper geniuses out there and I'm not saying that’s what’s going on but I wanted to know more.

Cloud seeding. Yep, it sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually a real thing we've been doing since World War II.
