The threat of floods in our town has passed for now, but a neighbouring town (an hour down the road but that's 'neighbouring', in Oz) wasn't so lucky. They have had major flooding, two major floods in a week, so lots of cleaning-up to be done.

A few nights ago we were hit by one of the worst storms we have had for a while; strong wind, rain, hail, more rain, heavier rain.....we kept expecting a blackout but didn't have one, altough our internet went out for a time.

Forecast for the coming week is - getting warmer, heading towards the low-mid 30s C later in the week, but with the ever present threat of more storms.

On a positive note, wshing hung outside doesn't take very long to dry. Unless it's not actually raining at the time.......
