Today I was awoken by the musical sound of birds chirping.
I lifted my head slightly to see a ray of light shining through the crack in the curtains...
...could it be sunshine?
Nope!
Today marks our 11th day of rain... in a row... non stop!
Everything is WET!
I was greeted by this sight when I let the dog outside.
A branch of one of our trees has come away.
We haven't enjoyed our new deck all holidays.
It's a good thing I didn't hang up the new paper lanterns I bought!
Our new outdoor table is desperate for some company other than pools of water!
On a serious note though there are parts of Queensland, the state of Australia in which I live, that are seriously flooded and they have started evacuating people.
I have never seen rain like this... well except for back in 2007 when the Newcastle floods hit and my sister lost nearly the entire contents of her home... but not here in Queensland.
It's no so much the heaviness of the rain... it's just its constant presence...relentless, constant rain.
The weather report is predicting sunshine and clouds on Thursday and Friday and then glorious sun from there on but I am not convinced... we had torrential rain yesterday and the weather report said it was going to be
CLOUDY!
Here's to some sunshine soon.
