The Rain Stops

After another 28 mls of rain (just over an inch) yesterday there is some sun between the clouds today. Rain is expected to fall again overnight Thursday. At least we were able to get out for a bike ride this morning though the pathways were a little wet where water seeps across from one side to the other.

The doors and windows are wide open again after being shut yesterday when temps were in the low 20's and the breeze was cool. At least the garden got a good water ... again. I showed Trish the browned leaves as seen in the photo to the left. Trish thought it may be from when she watered them after the hot day. The hose had been in the sun all day and the water in the hose may have been too hot.

The place is certainly more open now the tree out the front has gone. This photo shows the two storm water drains which would have eventually been blocked by the tree's roots if it hadn't been removed.

We are kind of 'planning' what we can and what we can't do during our nine days in Melbourne next week. Hopefully we can fit in a family get together but with us travelling down to Drouin on Saturday night and then recovering Sunday the family get together may have to be on Monday which is a public holiday in Melbourne.

I was busy downloading movies again last night and I have added 'There will Be Blood' and 'Juno' to my collection. Both movies fared well in the Academy Awards earlier this week.

The link to "Les' Caloundra Rainfall Figures is not working at the moment. I am also unable to update the document.
