Wet wet wet

G'day all!

Ever since Nathan pulled the cladding off the side of the garage, the weather has been a bit equivocal.

Today Nathan's younger brother came around to help put the new cladding on.

Here's a picture of the sky this afternoon (not clickable)


And here is what the cladding looked like on Monday (picture taken from south end):


And here is the pic from today (note the addition of the full bin of water, picture taken from north end):


Here's a portion of the radar pic from the BoM at 9pm today:

The big arrow shows the direction of the rain. The little arrow shows where we are. Note that the rain does not extend more than about 5km beyond our place. It has been like this for most of the afternoon. Typical!

However, these

are really happy about the rain because half the plants were plonked in the ground last night before the rain started.

So there is good to go with the bad.

Having a little bit of rain then! Are you sure you aren't in Britain :-) That said it has been rather dry and cold here of late. The past week has also been Very Gloomy. Clouds just like that photo except they don't rain. Temps barely above 3C in the daytime. According to the news this explains why the skin on my hands is dry and sore and icky - the darned weather. Hope it dries up soon where you are!

BTW that circuit and description made my eyes spin :-D (but I am well impressed)
