Praying for rain...

While a whole lot of Australia is currently under water and getting more rain than they need, we are in desperate need of rain here where I live.

Our rain water tanks ran dry a few days ago so we have switched to bore water which I hate. It is a bit sandy and gritty and it clogs the filters in my washing machine which slows the filling time...

I am doing a bit of a happy dance right now as this picture shows that it is indeed raining and I would hope it continues throughout the day. Our lawns look nice and green because we water all through summer but believe me, the rest of the block is dry as a bone! A couple of days of steady rain would put enough back in the tanks to go back onto rain water so I am sending up a prayer...

Thundery showers and rough weather...

Rain rolling in over our neighbours house.

We are expecting some rough weather today. Gale warnings for the coast and thunder storms.
Bring it on!

Our rain water tanks are full so each time it rains it just goes on the ground *sad sigh* but at least the tanks are full! This time last year, I think we were only half full. It's not real cold today, expecting a high of 16C, but it does feel nice and wintery.

Today is the last day of our financial year so I am up to " pussy's bow " (as Kath Day-Knight would say!) with wage, superannuation, WorkCover and Payroll Tax reconciliations. Joyous!

Stay warm,

Added: I think we escaped the storms although Adelaide and other areas have been hard hit. Hope everyone is okay.

Cold, wet and loving it...

Well, it looks like the rain has set in for the day...
