Yes it is raining. We have had a lot of rain since October, more than in my living memory. We are well used to droughts and flooding, but this has gone on for so long, people have forgotten how hot the sun is, or even what it looks like!! When the sun eventually returns, it will be a big shock to us all. Still people are getting sunburnt.... the UV index is sometimes high, and they forget their sunscreen....
Minor flooding prevents the dogs from venting their frustrations at the local off leash area, so they have to be content with a walk on leash in the rain.
At least the video shops and indoor play centres are doing a good trade these days... whilst, eco friendly car washes, water parks and outdoor attractions near the beach are doing it tough.
As are the people of CQ... Rockhampton and environs, but it is times like this that the community comes to the fore, and neighbours help out neighbours, people call in to check on others, and there is talk and chatting as people venture out to inspect the floods and meet up.
So good things can emerge from the depths of despair...
Meanwhile, we wonder if we should build an ark... the ants have been hoping so for several months, as they have been inundating my modest establishment for months. They knew the long range weather forecast before the metereologists....
How.??? That is something to ponder about...
