Some Sunshine At Last

As forecast, the heavy rain has left us for the moment and we have had a couple of light showers already this morning. But we are getting some sunshine too as the photo shows. This is a chance to get the bottles I washed yesterday fully dried and I will be able to bottle sometime over the next day or so.

The salt water chlorinator is working again, (there is still enough salt in the pool for it to create some chlorine) and it should be possible for us to get our towels dry in the fresh air for a change.

Rainfall totals so far for January are staggering. I tipped another 58mls from the gauge this morning. So far we have had 544mls for January, a little below 22" in the old scale.

However residents living in low lying riverside areas in the capital city Brisbane are readying themselves for flooding. It is eerie because the sun is out but the river levels are rising as the water from previous day's storms kilometres inland eventually find there way via the Brisbane River to the sea. The flood peak is expected tomorrow.
