Rain......at long last.
It is finally raining here in Perth. the last time I can recall any rain here was on christmas day, and then it was only shower.
We were driving down Marmion Avenue, about 10 minutes ago and the rain drops were the size of eggs!!!......ten it chucked it down.
I have never heard my kids so excited over rain???????????
they both screamed..'Its raining', and were just so excited!!!!!! Over Rain.

Re: Rain......at long last.
I also ran outside screaming to Pascal, IT's Raining!!!!! 
Ok, not much, but we had 3 small showers....
Yep, xmas day is also the last time I remember rain, and that wasn't much.
Grass is looking very sandy, and even the fatty shrubs we have(you know, the ones that don't need much water, cactussy sort of ones without spikes..??!), are looking very sad and shrivelled...

Re: Rain......at long last.
Just to make sure I'm clea, what I meant by 3 small showers, was about 3 showers off 5 minutes each
I heard lots of thunder just before, so maybe more rain to come....
