A Wet Night

Yesterday it was bright and sunny at 3 pm.


By 4:30 pm the sky was an ugly black and rain was falling in the distance.



Shortly afterwards this shot was taken from the front door looking seawards. The clouds were moving in but there was still sunshine out to the horizon. The storm was on its way.


Later the rain set in.
This morning I tipped 18 ml from the rain gauge. The storm had lost a lot of its power by the time it got to us. However the pool was topped up, the garden had a good drink and the lawn at the front was watered too!

It rained on and off into the night.

Been a busy day today, bottling a new brew, cleaning the sun blinds at the back of the house (this is a big and messy annual chore) and giving the front lawn a mow.
