G'day, people.
Just a quick check-in. It's raining again. Hot, steamy, then we get the massive storms. Honestly, we're getting more rain here in an hour than we get usually in a month. Last night while we were at mother in law's and the storm hit hard, we got 70 mm (2.75") of rain in two hours. One suburb of Sydney got over an inch in 10 mins. So naturally, today the north road was flooded out and we had to drive an extra half hour each way to get to the mainland.
I can hear the rain dripping outside the window, and the frogs are blupping loudly in the pond. At least there is no thunder tonight, last night was very loud.
The pattern is - sunny in the morning (scorching) then by mid-afternoon the sky turns aniseed-coloured and boils, until the light show begins. The rain falls, the road steams, we sweat even more.
This is turning out to be the wettest and coldest summer we've ever had.
Enjoy your Monday.
