Underwater...


We could be forgiven for feeling as if we are underwater...













After what is now being called the hottest summer on record in Australia,

and then after probably nearly a record,  very wet February,  we are now expecting even more rain for the weekend, in SE Queensland!!!

We could be forgiven for going a little "troppo". A term usually reserved for the craziness that results from waiting in the extreme heat for the wet season to arrive in the tropics. Perhaps what we are experiencing might better be termed "cabin fever". Well, I guess we haven't been quite confined to barracks continually since Australia Day the first at the end of January,  but the prospects of even more rain doesn't seem to be terribly exciting anymore. From one who loves the wet season normally. ;-(
It must sound even worse for those whose homes or businesses or lives have been affected by the rain and floods more than once since then...some of them even three times!!! Unbelievable.

Guess things can always change at the drop of a hat, almost, but with the late onset of the monsoon in the north, and another possible cyclone forming up north maybe next week, things are not looking so good at the moment.

A bright note in the day today, was being able to attend the World Day of Prayer, written by the women in France. It is always a wonderful experience to share with women (and men) from other congregations in the community here, and to know that we are not the only ones praying, but that others will do so all around the globe today also!

Especially nice to have a friend visit when I got home!


Warbling away in the rain again for me. How lovely!
