It rained a bunch

These pictures show a very non-typical weather for this time of the year in Adelaide.

Rain in  bucket loads. And rain inside is not good.Rain is not good also when you are packing things for storage in cardboard boxes...think wet mush.







 However rain has made our bean/holly-hock house grow tall enough to almost reach the land of giants(Jack and the bean stalk?) and everything is green so swings and roundabouts....

and it sure rained a bunch!

And finally no photos but lightening and thunder put on a spectacular sky show before we retired for the night!

Rain on Tuesday

It rained ...hooray today!!

Actually bucketed down.

Ds came home from running to catch the bus looking like an impersonation of a very tall drowned rat.


So after he had changed (into my son) I took him to uni driving through a "river of rain". as we drove past the actual river the water had burst the flood gates and was squirting up fountain-like high in the air. Wish I'd had the camera!



Went home and collected the younger two and again headed for the river. This little fellow on the right was not pleased with the result of the downpour!

The water had gone down considerably in the space of an hour but we were able to watch the repairs here on the nets that prevent the tones of rubbish we throw into the river each year.

I mean maybe a chip packet could "slip" out of your hand...but a milk crate...or a shopping trolley or two, I don't think so!
