Sunday 8:30 am - 412mls Altogether

The skies have cleared at last.  Beginning with morning showers on Thursday onto the real outbreak of rain Thursday afternoon until just after lunch Saturday we experienced over 400mls of rain, 16" in the old language.

412mls to be precise!

The rain has now cleared and this morning we awake to sun and some blue skies.  It has clouded over again now and there is the possibility of showers this afternoon.  But the heavy rain has gone and we have escaped relatively unharmed.

The pool took a bit of cleaning this morning as there were plenty of light weighted floaties in the water.  the vacuum goes by just near them and they float up into the water, only to settle again when the vacuum has well and truly passed by.

The pool is a little over 24º with all the rain and cooler weather. My bike ride this morning was for around 13k's and I certainly noted the pool's cooler temperature with my after ride swim.

I noticed the 'second fridge' in the computer room had its door partly ajar Saturday morning.  The things in the freezer were melting and all the drinks were no longer icy cold.  There was water on the floor.  It looked quite ominous as though the light was on, the fridge motor certainly wasn't running!

We pulled the plug on it and let it sit for the best part of an hour.  We plugged it back into the power point again but alas, there was nothing.  The light came on when you opened the door but the motor certainly wasn't running.

However around 20 minutes later it sparked back into life and has been running perfectly ever since.  I restocked it, I even added some more soft drink and this morning things are cooler if not icy cold.  Hopefully things will be fine.  The stuff in the small freezer compartment is all frozen again.

The large table in the computer room is going to 'go'..  It is too bulky and takes up too much space.  I reckon I have had it for around 20 years.  We will keep our eyes open for a smaller 'corner' desk I think.
