Gosh, it's wet!
Today I only managed to get 6,000 steps because it rained and rained and rained some more.
I did sneak in a brief walk this morning. I'd watch the rain radar like a hawk and picked a 20 minute window that had light rain instead of bucketloads. But it already looked like this in the bush...
This is where I had planned to walk, but the creek had flooded the wide path 👇
So I double backed and took a narrow track. It was a temporary creek rather than a 'track' 👇
This is the concrete driveway to get out of the bush. I can't remember every seeing it flooded this far across 👇
This is the storm water drain from the road. I don't remember ever seeing it that high either 👇
Still, I was delighted to have got in a walk and got home before the next massive shower it. And the nicest surprise? Seeing a pair of King Parrots feeding in the trees in our front yard 👇
The rain must not have bothered me too much as I sat in a deep squat for several minutes simply admiring them, delighted to see a species of bird I rarely ever see.
Funny, I was reading this just as a couple of King parrots landed on the back deck. It's nice to get out in the rain. Better than being stir crazy inside the house. It's why raincoats were invented I suppose.
That's a lot of rain alright. I normally like running in the rain but once my socks get soaked I no longer enjoy it!
