[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 118750, member: 1991"] G'day, all. This is going to take me some time to get used to. it's late, it's already Monday here and our wedding anniversary - 30 years! husband & I are taking off for the day and exploring Sydney, parts we've never been to. I want to check out Pinchgut, aka Fort Denison. It is probably going to rain, but it's a warm rain. Got caught out in it this afternoon - was out on my scooter at mother in law's when a storm broke and boy, did it bucket down! Got drenched going home, despite the big poncho raincoat I spread over me and the scooter, both, with just my head in a hood on top. It's my "bat out of H*ll" image, dark cape flying in the wind and the rain. husband had given me his computer thumb drive and some other precious electronic bits to keep dry under the poncho, he shoved them into my bra. But even with the poncho, the rain was pouring down into the 'valley' and I had to move the electronic stuff to 'higher ground'. There was so much rain that even with the hood, my face was so wet it was like trying to open my eyes underwater. If it hadn't been for the scooter needing the electric circuitry protected from the rain, I wouldn't have worried about the poncho. husband followed me, without a raincoat, and was wet so he figured it was as good a time as any to clear the gutters! He says that way, the continuing rain rinses them clean. When he finally came inside, he looked like a drowned rat. Our rainwater tank was overflowing, the gutters were overflowing, I put a bucket under the waterfall of the overflowing gutter and the bucket overflowed. Sunday is one of the two days of the week when our hoses may be used - no need, today! Before the rain we had a lot of hot sun, but it is very steamy here, reminds me of Singapore in monsoon season. If we get wet then so be it, we will dry soon enough without feeling chilled. It's just like going for a swim fully clothed. easy child 2/difficult child 2 was about to head out for a walk in the rain (fully clothed) when it stopped and the sun came out again. Poor girl - maybe if it rains tomorrow at a convenient time for her, she will get her wet walk. I know we sound odd, but after a long, hot, steamy day there is nothing better than to dance in the rain! Enjoy your Sunday everyone. husband & I are partying on our own in the big city in a few hours' time. Marg [/QUOTE]
