    It's raining.

    Not that will-the-storm-hit-us-or-pass-2ks-to-the-north kind of rain.

    Not the we-got-11mms-overnight-so-we-don't-have-to-irrigate-for-a-couple-of-days-but-the-dam-is-still-empty kind of rain.

    Proper rain.

    Email-from-the-Principal-asking-us-to-keep-the-children-home-from-school kind of rain.

    What-time-will-the-creek-cut-the-roads? kind of rain.

    How-many-days-worth-of-milk-before-we-start-drinking-the-terrible-powdered-stuff? kind of rain.*

    School-holidays-have-started-unexpectedly-early kind of rain.

    Dams-are-filling kind of rain.

    Six-months-worth-of-farming kind of rain.

    Long-games-of-UNO kind of rain.

    Bearhands-is-wearing-a-goofy-smile-kind of rain.

    Stand-outside-and-watch-it-with-wonder kind of rain.

    It's actually raining.

    Proper raining.

    Chill-the-champagne-tonight-we-party kind of rain!

    what's the weather like at your place?

    * Apologies to my remote readers who drink powdered milk all the time.... but yuck!

      Hooray for rain... I hope it hasn't been so hard with you as to damage any crops. I know that the coast has been smashed in Queensland and in NSW.

      Hope your dams are full and that the rain is a bit better over the winter for you guys.. and that a day off school was welcome and restoring.
