Enjoy your "puddling around" day, Linda. I hope the robins make their presence known for you.
We've got rain here. Lots of it. 48mm today, which is not quite two inches. There was even more rain further in the city, whre I had to go to see my specialist.
More rain tomorrow (storms too, they said) and more appointments. husband is off for the day tomorrow, we're doing some shopping plus his appointment also.
easy child 2/difficult child 2 spun out on the wet road this morning, so BF2's car, so freshly repaired and back on the road, is off the road again. She's not hurt and I don't think the car is too badly damaged. She hit a lot of young she-oak trees, but they didn't have trunks more than an inch thick, and she bent them over rather than broke them. One mirror is dangling and there's a dent in the front fender. Can't see anything more.
She's better learn how to drive in the wet - we're getting a lot more of it. All the rain that has flooded Queensland has been forecast to move down to drench the coastal areas of NSW. Depending on how far inland it goes, this COULD be good news if it fills the dams, but if it's not far enough inland, it's just a blasted nuisance with no drought-breaking benefit.
Today I was so tired when we got to the shops (after seeing the doctor) that I catnapped in the car, in the carpark. I woke after half an hour feeling stifled, as if I was suffocating in my own expired air. So I got out to do my shopping - and found the air outside felt just as close.
The one benefit of rain in summer - you don't have to bother with umbrella or raincoat, getting wet is no big deal. You don't feel cold at all, even if you're soaked to the skin.
Meanwhile our swimsuits and towels hang on the clothesline, looking heavy and sad. I'll have to fetch them in and put them through the spin cycle, then cry them indoors. Otherwise as the ground gets soggy, the weight of the towels will pull the clothesline out of the ground.
At least the garden is getting watered!
Enjoy your Monday.
