We have rain

It has been raining since yesterday afternoon

The initial downpoor was sooooo heavy that my gutters couldn't take the amount of water

But after the downpoor it has been a steady and welcome light rain.

Here are my gutters during the downpoor!!!!!!!!

righto we've had enough cloud cold and rain now. It's time to piss this crud off and bring back our warm sunshine and clear nights....or has summer gone to hell? Latest forecast suggests this is the case *YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNN*

Car is stuck again ..truck wont go but cant work on it cause its so wet..grass is growing fast as...I am sick of it really really sick of it.

Yeah i know the feeling.It's drizzling up here again. Managed 30mins last night before the cloud rolled in. Took a couple of happy snaps with my point and shoot through the eyepiece.(see Cheap Shots) in solar system. I was going to have another crack tonight but not to be.
Oh well just sit and drool over the images on IIS.
Cheers

The top hill is in permanent cloud and rain ..it has its own little weather thing going on..even if it is fine here it is raining up there ..it does not stop.. it is just heavy or light.. the clouds come at me thru the trees.. and everything is as damp as..I cant even get the gear out to play with.. and as much as I love my dogs they stink..they sleep on my bed when I am not there and it is now so wet I have to sleep on a cot without a mattress...

I feel better having a grizzle mind you...
AND I can not get to Sydney ..running two months late at that end of my life...
I dont mind being here as my daughter is here.. it is a bit strained as you can imagine but when something ticks me off I come and annoy my friends here or write about gravity (well about everything but gravity in truth) at poor Shawns site... but she has only so much time for me with her games so I get bored and you poor guys get the tail end of that...

have a great day

alex

Mate!!! I used to live in Glen Innes and the nights were so clear AND cold....that one felt as though one could touch the stars. But then, I lived there through 2 drought situations in the 80s and 90s.
