YES IT WAS WET

According to yesterday's local paper we had five times the usual monthly rainfall for November and that was with  2 days still to go.  At our Airport 360 mm was recorded well ahead of the previous November record of 257 mm. Records began in 1943.

No wonder the ground was so wet when Doug was digging the post holes. We do seem to have had a lot of wet days although a lot of that rain was from the extra heavy downpours we have had recently.

Anyway, the posts are all in the ground now and the post hole borer was returned for a refund as they were all dug by hand.  We have just had a visit from our 3 year old and nearly 2 month old great-granddaughters who came to lunch with their mother.  A very pleasant time was spent over roast chicken and all the trimmings.  25°C with the possibility of a heat shower later on.

    1. The downpours were really heavy. At least the garden survived it and is flourishing (fingers crossed).

    1. Shame about your passionfruit. We haven't had as much rain as expected today. Forecast dry for next few days.

  4. Still getting thunder and heavy showers here, although I'm told they are not as bad as they were while I was away. Now I read they are forecasting a long hot summer. Ugh!!
