Break in the (weather) transmission

Did I MISS something this week? Like, um, the WEATHER WATCH?
Sheesh… hopeless.
Not too regular here at the moment (and trying to bat kids away from the computer as I type this – blinking ‘educational’ websites). So as we enjoy a tiny break in the rain patterns here (NOT that I am complaining) and share a couple of snaps of the by-products of the wet weather…

Fabulous crops of mushrooms trailing across our rampant lawn…

Weather for this neck of the woods:

21-28 degrees and 87 percent relative humidity (aka: stinking steaming hot!)
90% chance of 10-20mm rain (keep bringing it on, Hughie)
Frost risk – 0 (no kidding Einstein?)
Rest of the week filled with ‘more possible showers’.
And before you ask, NO we are SO not sick of it yet, despite being almost flooded in on a couple of seperate occasions in the past week. We have had almost 15 inches of rain for 2010 already – not so far off our entire rainfall last year! Each soaking we get tops up our dams and adds to our underground water supplies – meaning we can go for that bit longer without rain when the dry season arrives (as it surely will).

I do feel for those having to evacuate their homes because of flooding in Charleville and St George… check out news reports here. And the flash flood in Melbourne (see Jayne’s pics).
And how about you?
What’s Mother Nature up to in your part of the world.
I wait with bated breath!
