Day 334 - Drenched Doggies

This is the earliest I have taken my photo of the day for a while... Rex and Milly were drenched this morning after the storm... lucky the inside of their kennel was bone dry huh?!

There were pretty fierce storms over Canberra last night, so much so that the thunder and heavy rain woke me overnight. These two must have gone a bit bezerk out there!

Day 47 - Cyclone, Rain and a New Bubby

On the way to work this morning I heard on the news that there was a cyclone about to hit Darwin today and I was thinking that I should send a text to my friend Frances. By the time I got to work I started rushing around doing preparation and somehow forgot all about that text! Little did I know, Fran was in labour and had given birth to baby Samantha Elizabeth Miles at 9.03 this morning. In Darwin time, that meant she was probably born at about 11.33am EST. Very exciting news anyway, as Fran and Chris have waited so long for this and are so deserving!

Well it was cyclones in Darwin this morning, but only rain here this afternoon, which Henry and I were both caught in on our way home. I took the pic above on the new camera (I haven't learnt much yet!) after Dale spotted this little guy slinking across my red brolly on the front porch!

Day 12 - Rain and More Rain

We had a lot of heavy rain here this morning and now that I think about it, I was a bit annoyed that I had to go out in it this morning with Henry. As usual I was wishing that we had a garage that had room for the car so that we didn't have to get wet. Small problem compared to what is happening with the floods in Queensland at the moment. Throughout the day, news updates, comments on Facebook and so on have continued to sadden me. For so many people to have died (including children) and for so many people to be missing is so devastating. Donating money to help people who have lost all of their material possessions will go a long way, but it is awful to know that there isn't anything that you can do to bring back someone's child or partner.
