[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 44629, member: 1991"] G'day, all. We got rain! OK, we don't need it as much here on the coast, but the entire south-east of Australia has had some good, gentle, soaking rain over the last 24 hours. Even back o' Burke, Tippaburra, Dubbo - all got at least two inches, some got more. A lot of the rain has stopped already and it's nowhere near drought-breaking, but the timing is perfect for crops just sown. Some said it's the first rain for five years or more in their area. This featured on our news tonight. Inland got more than the coast, for one - we only got about an inch. Dams - the catchment has soaked all this up, but any more rain will be runoff. Our rainwater tank runneth over! Fran, I know you understand - Texas rains like it does here - mostly evaporates high up before it lands. Our rain stopped abruptly at lunchtime - a brief, heavy windblown downpour that stopped like turning off the shower taps. A poem I remember from school, years ago - it runs through my head at times like this. It has the rhythm of the rain in every chorus. All the place names - they cover the country. I've made a start on changing difficult child 3's Geography - ironically, he's almost finished the worst of the curriculum. It's not the teacher's fault (well, maybe a little bit) - ALL kids in his grade in the entire state have to spend at least 8 weeks on the topic of 'global change". Maybe it COULD be presented in a more concrete way, we'll have to see. But he'll probably have to finish this topic with this teacher. Two more worksheets, but these look a little easier. I'll know more on Monday. There's a chain of communication I have to go through, and only one more teacher to get permission from. She's got both a phone message and an email. Have a great Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
