Whack!
We just got hit by a strong storm front. Wild winds, lightning strikes, heavy rain - made me think I was in Qld!

Just passed us about an hour ago 23.5mm. Lovely. Washed all the dust out of the air. However: we now have a plague of frogs. I mean they're all over the place. Stuck to the windows, in the living room and kitchen, cars' covered in them. Pets won't go outside. And the noise!!! God have mercy, I can't hear the voices in my head they're so loud!!!
Like that '70's horror flick.
They're only tiny, but Holy **** there's millions of 'em.
SOB!!!! One just jumped on my screen! Now he's gone.
I think we need some starving ducks.
