Quite moist!

So...presently we have been under a cloud. We are experiencing a period of cooler, wetter weather which is predicted to last over a week. The east coast and places further west into central Queensland have enjoyed prolonged periods of rain, though as usual our predicted rainfall amounts have not materialised. We have had about 17 mls over the last three days which is better than nothing but it is not what we hoped for. Still, more rain is predicted onwards into next week so hopefully there is much more to come.I had to cut the grass the other day around Blue Moon as it has really grown since we finally had some rain. The poor lawn mower has been idle for about 18 months but I managed to get it going. It was also nice to have a quick swim in the dam at the weekend, before the cooler weather set in but we are hoping that, weather permitting it will be back up to its normal level soon.I was reading today that it is likely that a cyclone may form over the weekend out in the Coral Sea and early indications suggest it may head our way. We need some biblical rain to get the Severn river flowing again and enough to fill Storm King Dam so the ongoing water restrictions can be lifted in the town.The downside of all this cloudy weather is we are having to conserve power as the solar batteries are not getting charged as usual plus our solar water heating system relies on the sun so our showers, at present, are quite a bit cooler, if barely warm.
