Weather has stopped play!
By Greg the Geeza · 14 October 2026
Built a flood barrier yesterday. Today, Mother Nature’s giving it a test. Thunder, lightning and rain hammering down in Klirou—so the outside jobs can wait.
A 12-second AI-created cartoon with storm sound effects. No added music or voiceover. The artwork illustrates the moment; it is not footage of the actual storm.
Mother Nature’s quality control
Yesterday I laid a line of blocks along the front veranda, curving around the roof support to close the corner. The idea is to help keep rainwater out of the veranda.
Today the weather has decided to put that job through its first test. Rain, mud and another interruption to the garden graft. Winnie and Bella have joined me in the cartoon, looking about as impressed as I am.
It’s too early to say how the barrier has performed. For now, this is a weather update and a laugh—not a “job proven” announcement.
Dreaming of a sunnier afternoon
The cartoon says it all: tools down, storm overhead, and me imagining somewhere warmer and drier. Real jobs, real life, and weather that doesn’t care about the plan.
Has the weather stopped your DIY this week? Come and share the chaos on my social channels.
