            Further on from the above … now it’s 13C with intermittent sunshine and showers … well, at least that’s how April is supposed to be …

              Not going to complain about the weather, though just to say it's a bit damp and chilly here where the rain clouds are blocking out the sun. Temperatures at night are expected to be in double figures for next few days. Saturday is supposed to climb to 20C, so I'll be taking a ring side seat to watch the garden POP!

                  Tropical downpour when I left to drive to physio this morning but 20kms north and it was dry and the sun was coming out. Back home again and it's just spitting with sunny bits and lots of heavvy cloud scudding about.

                  One good thing is that water tables are recovering after the last 7 years of very dry years so the rain is welcome but also a bit frustrating now things are growing at rocket speed in the garden.

                    Good morning :smile:
                    Next time you awaken to the sound of raindrops hitting your window, don't retreat back under the covers. Lean into the tranquility and romance of the moment listen to the rain for a few minutes, and then throw those sheets back and start your day with joy.:heehee::heehee::heehee:
