here we go again

Strong winds and heavy rain lashing Adelaide again as I type this, the rain began last night with a steady downpour and lessened this morning, but the rain returned later this afternoon and the winds rose a bit later.
More flash flooding is expected. 
Most unusual for this time of year.

    Good luck. I hope the damage is kept to a minimum. We have had showers. And some thunder. Mostly very, very light rain.

    Elephant's Child; that's how we started before the first flash flood day. Hopefully you'll just get more rain, without the extremes. It's cold here too, I have my winter pjs on and my fluffy slippers.

    Andrew; I know you're okay for now, but Sydney is experiencing storms like we are. I hope Merle is okay.

    Strange weather seems to be the order of the year.

    We are due for some rain, but hoping it doesn't come down in buckets!

    Hi River,

    Strangely, that's the weather we are suffering from at this moment. Floods, gusts and endless rain!

    :o(

    Cheers

    Merle; we're having a dry day today, but the gardens are all wonderfully damp now and won't need watering for at least a week.

    Joeh; always safe, not always dry. i don't mind getting rained on.

    Joanne; and all over the world too.

    linda Kay; look upward before you venture out, if you see buckets let me know, I could use a few.

    Plasman; but it's winter there. Aren't you supposed to be buried in snow by now?

    fishducky; come down and get some, we can spare you a bucket or two.

    We're copping storms up this way, too. North of Brisbane copped it last night. We got some nice rain, and it's raining lightly again now, but it hasn't yet managed to get rid of the heat...it's so muggy. It's hard not to feel cranky in this weather! lol

dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?

Image
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought?  If yes, why buy it?  If no, then how was it stored in the home environment?  Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when  food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...

Sunday Selections # 790

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently?  I bought a couple of "Heirloom" tomatoes fo...

Welcome to 2026

  Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun.  🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator.  Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to.  Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
