Default Thank you for the rain

It's just started to rain here in Perth and thank goodness! It must be at least 3-4 months since we last had any, can anyone here remember when it last poured down?. It is only drizzling at the moment but I'am hoping for a right good soaking!


Funny leaving the UK and then wishing for rain here!! lol

Well I know it rained on the 17th December, so it's only been a couple of months, certainly hasn't rained this year though.

It is horrible in Sydney as well. Just hot, humid, and cloudy. Just had some rain but no relief.

Default WIND!!

Just getting the smallest of breezes through the window, still don't reckon on much kip though!

I'll be knackered tomorrow and it is going to be 38 degrees by Wednesday - .

And they say it's too hot in QLD !!
About 30C today, and the same tomorrow. Nice cool evening outside, although warmer in the house, but not enough to put the air con on.

Well, we seemed to have had quite a bit last night - still little puddles on the ground this morning. As usual the area was in chaos with power cuts and traffic almost at a standstill.

Good for the garden though

isnt it funny how in the uk or anywhere when its raining you can go out - wrap up and take an umbrella and head out! at 40 degrees which we get in melbourne (although this summer has been pretty cool) you cant go out and do anything! ironic!
