Skies Blue Again

The rain has eventually cleared altogether now but we did have a few short showers yesterday and this morning. I only tipped 4 ml out of the gauge today.

The early morning shower were enough to keep me off my bike this morning. Anyway with around 7" of rain there will still be heaps of seepage and wet spots around the usual course I take.

I ventured back to the doctor yesterday as my stuffy cold wasn't improving. It seems the congestion is delaying the removal of the infection in my middle ear so I am on another course of strong anti-biotics. I am also on a stronger anti-histamine to dry me out and allow the anti-biotic to work more effectively. This is drying me up but it also making me drowsy. I will now take the anti-histamine at night rather than first thing in the day!

A Home Brew bottle washing day today as the photo shows. The brew should be ready to bottle sometime over the weekend.

A fair bit of yesterday was spent on Community Association business with updating the website after our Public Meeting. As our Secretary was absent from the meeting I wrote out the minutes for her as well.

When I look at the rainfall figures so far for 2012 I see we have already had 1130mls out of an annual average total of 1570. So far we have had around 45" of rain in less than three months .... but it is the wet season!

Trish is at Stitchers today and then is out with the girls for cards this afternoon.

Around 3pm she has a "Famil" (Familiarisation Tour) for some of the Tourist Info Centre volunteers. This is where a group of them are escorted around some local attractions and shown the ropes and given a taste of what the attractions have to offer. Today they finish with a short ferry trip around Caloundra. She really enjoys these. It should be all over by 6pm so that means Fish N Chips for tea!
