It rained!

It finally rained... the past three nights it's been thundery etc, but the first two times it was basically all noise. Tonight, third time was the charm, it peed down rain!



It hailed too. And it lasted for, oh, a half hour or so. Our back yard became a back quagmire, and our front was flooded (not very deep, but definitely flooded!). Once it all passed, though, I went out the back and scraped up some dirt, the moisture had penetrated less than a centimetre. Pfffft. We will need a LOT more than that to make a real difference.

What's kind of scary is that it seems worthwhile taking photos of the rain. I only have two or three lots of photos for this whole year of rainstorms. The last time I remember Canberra having good solid rain was the first week Scott was at Alfred Deakin - that was five years ago now.

Well, this will be the last entry for 2006 - happy new year everyone!
