I washed the bottles for my next bottling and then we headed into town to the supermarket to replenish the pantry! I managed to hit the pool three times during the day for a cool off. We were sitting quietly beside the pool at about 3 pm when this large mass of storm clouds started to build in the west. A quick check of the weather radar on the internet confirmed we were in for another storm!
The rain began falling at about 4pm and then came the thunder and lightning show! The storm wasn't at all fierce but gave us the best part of an hour's steady rain and another 14ml (just over half an inch). The pool is now overflowing and the garden is certainly damp enough! This means we had had 1600mls for the year to date or a grand total of 64 inches of rain.
After yesterday afternoon's rain it is quite still this morning. The last few days have been breezy but not today. Still and warm means it is quite sticky! There are more ominous looking clouds about so we are in for another downpour later on! Any sun we had earlier has disappeared now.Pool was 24 degrees this morning when I had a dip after my bike ride. If we get sun today it could be up to 27 degrees mid afternoon!
Trish is off to her Stitchery group this morning and I will have a quiet time on the internet.
