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.

    Calm here now, but more rain to come.

    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.

    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

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

Sunday Selections # 726

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. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
