Wet



This was the scene yesterday.  It persisted down all day long, turning the garden into a mud puddle.

It seems we were luckier than some across the water who experienced flooding and travel disruptions due to the weather conditions.

After a dull start this morning it is now bright and sunny again with blue skies and a few fluffy white clouds dotted about.

We drove into town earlier to do some shopping; gifts for the friends we shall be visiting when we go to Tasmania later this year. It was challenging trying to find things small and light that would fit into our luggage but that are still useful and not "tat".

A pleasant stroll around town and coffee in Costa (I like their coffee and they do a cortado for P,  which is not available in many coffee shops).

I also bought a couple of summer tops in the sales for my trip this week, so back to reorgansing the packing.

  2. We had rain all over the weekend but it's lovely today. I believe we have rain for the next week - all week!

  3. You are going to Tasmania! I am not jealous...not one little bit. You could take some vacuum packed Manx kippers. The Aussie border control would never spot them.

    1. I wouldn't even dare to take a polo mint with me. They would arrest me on the spot!
