Stuff

"They" predicted a big storm yesterday and "we" were advised to check gutters and batten down the hatches. So I dug the best compost ever! out of the drains that go under the block (irrigation sumps). I tidied the yard and parked the bunny in the safest possible place and gave the gutters a quick check and swept so the debris wouldn't get back in the drains. Some lucky plants got some very nice compost and the I used the sweepings to rebuild moats around the fruit trees.

It was hot this morning and then the forecast thunderstorm came in! The first thunder we heard was about half a second after the first lightning we saw, so that was kinda close! And HEAVY RAIN - but - for about 5 minutes .... hardly a drought breaker, but there's more coming as I type this.

So the weather has been either too hot or too wet, both of which suck during school holidays. The boys are bored of staying home so after the haircuts (complete with gel for the tousled look):




















... we went to an indoor playground to use some energy for a while. Air-conditioned and dry.

That's about all. "No news", as Grandma B used to say.

Drive safely, Erin and Peter, see you soon!
