[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 17188, member: 1991"] husband & I were hoping for an early night tonight too - we're getting there but it's not so early any more. We don't have a rain gauge, something I need to rectify, but when I checked my pot plants this morning we'd had about an inch and a half of rain overnight. We've had more today, and from what I've seen it's much lighter rain here than the rest of Sydney. AND IT'S OVER THE DAMS! Yay! They've had 2" at least in the dam catchment, which they said gives us another six weeks' water supply for Sydney. It's not drought-breaking, but it's the most rain we've had in many months. It's forecast to taper off though, the sun is coming out again. Even with the rain it's still been very warm. And a nasty side-effect of the rain on the coast - huge dust storms only a little further inland. Thick clouds of red dust through a lot of country towns. I'll have to message easy child, but it looks like Canberra could have been far enough west to have got thoroughly dusted too. So it seems no lullaby of rain as we sleep tonight, but still a dropping wet world of wonder outside. Our frog pond is three-quarters full again, after being half empty. And here's a thought for all the cognitive behaviour therapists out there - to a frog, whether the pond is half full or half empty depends entirely on whether it's raining or not. Enjoy your Monday!
