The rain has been falling on and off since I last posted. Since 7am this morning we have had around another 120mls of rain. We are pretty close to 250mls (or 10") since it all began yesterday lunchtime.The place is bearing up very well indeed. The rain has been on and off so everything gets a chance to drain away. The pool was almost up to the paver coping around the edge when the rain stopped.
Around 2cms of water drained out before the next heavy downpour arrived. Then the rain starts up again and so it goes.
With such bad weather all the beaches along the Sunshine Coast have been closed as well.
With the old Billion modem/router continually 'losing' items such as the printer and the media player from the network, I bit the bullet this morning and swapped over to the even older D-Link model modem/router I have.
At this stage everything has remained 'connected'. I had forgotten a few little intricacies around the old D-Link but after a few goes I have managed to set it all up and it is running OK.
The cricket on TV looks like being a fizzer today with the English dismissed for around 130 runs. It will be all over by later this afternoon.
There won't be any cricket from Brisbane's "Gabba" ground tomorrow with all the rain we have had and still to have according to the weather bureau.

Oh, if only we could get that kind of rain here. I doubt that we had 10" all this last year. We are so---dry! The last time that we had a good soaker like that and refilled our lake was when a hurricane came in through the Gulf of Mexico and died out over our area of West Texas. And hurricane season doesn't start until mid to late summer, July or August.
