I am sick of the rain.
I was cut off from town with both bridges going under..when one came back I went to town got suppplies and came back home..that night the rain was very heavy and in the morning I found most of my 150 mt drive (track) was washed away...so for the next week I filled the holes using pick and shovel and got out again and made it down to Sydney where I was presented with a $200 bill for the marina guys pumping out my boat..the solar panel could not get enough charge into the batteries and she threatened to go down.
I have had to live on the boat to keep it afloat for the past week with only a couple of trips away when it was sunny. Living on a boat is fun but when it is raining somehow it becomes less so.
Fishing has been good however
.
Anyways they were right about the water desalinator solving our water needs...somehow irony has involved itself and Sydneys dam is full to overflowing.
Up home it does not stop raining...one day even with the Sun out it was still raining
...being on top of the range any cloud passing over has to dump bagage to pass over my home... also I think there is a local action at play where the water goes up into the clouds and back down on a daily cycle.
The grass in 4 to 5 ft high despite the cows who visit doing their best to do my mowing.
Still much better than the fire threat part of the cycle.
