Rain, Rain and More Rain

Welcome to sunny Queensland, they say. Still, look on the bright side (pun intended), without the rain, we wouldn't have attractive water features especially my beloved waterfalls.

I'm still waiting for the weather to clear up, but the way things are going, that may not happen anytime soon.


It blew an absolute gale last night. I've just about had it up to my chin with rain. I generally don't get cabin fever as I am happy to be crafting or playing on the computer all day and if I do get sick of that I can read or play games with Rob.

However part of the reason for coming north at this time of year is that it is supposed to be warm and it's known as the dry season. Well at least it is warm, most days I am running around in my shorts and a tank top with a shirt over it in the mornings (nights don't get cooler until well after midnight. At least I can get asleep on top of the bed but sometime during the night it cools down and I must reach down to pull a sheet up.

All this wet weather may be great for farmers and I must remind myself not to be selfish but to me is a tad depressing. I am thinking how true John Denver's song is: "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy"


On a practical level when there is this much continual rain (without any damaging floods) the whole area just turns into a quagmire. Thankfully I have gumboots for such weather. Still I can't complain too much at least it is not cold.

Oh my gosh....What a change, sunshine - I'd almost forgotten what it felt like. All is well in my world - I am happy again.

    1. We can't control the weather but we can control how we respond to it.

  2. Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy. What’s app contact : +44 7520 636249‬
