Wet Welcome

We arrived home from Melbourne pretty exhausted. My class went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and I think enjoyed the slower more relaxing pace of a busy few days.


This afternoon we had a wonderful thunderstorm complete with hail. I don't think has rained for a while a our garden was pretty dry but this made up for it. We live just under the yellow (very heavy) patch near Sydney airport .



The gutters had trouble coping and the street completely flooded and there were whirlpools around the drains.

A car came through while we were watching - probably a bit too fast but who can resist a big puddle?

Managed to get my entry for the Sydney Quilt Show in the mail today and tomorrow we get all our stuff back from Melbourne so a day of carrying and unpacking. Then to start dyeing again to fill orders.

It's Raining Properly

Funny thing about droughts - they occasionally break. After spending a couple of hours out in the garden this afternoon the promised storms just arrived. Great for washing down all the dust and stuff. Having just used lots of water in the water tanks to pressure clean the paving so it is great to have them fill up again immediately.

The drainage in my street couldn't quite cope with the deluge but I couldn't resist trying some one handed (other hand was holding the umbrella) shots.


Surfs up!
