Rain, glorious Rain...

The View from the front Door...

Looking nasty...

So the piccies above show how the clouds looked just before we got such a deluge of rain that our tanks are now again full and overflowing... Was amazing to watch. The clouds came over just after school on Monday and went away again. Then that night the sky opened up and poured out all its lovely rain. It was constant and unrelenting... It was wonderful...

Now today we are left with a huge amount of wind and lovely sunshine... There was enough clear sky last night that Russell ended up getting up at 2:30am so that he could watch the current meteor showers... He was out there for 1/2 hr and couldn't stay any longer as it was just sooooo cold out there. The wind was amazing... He got to see some really cool sky action though. :) Boys are wanting to get up tonight as long as the clouds go away again. Hopefully it will work out and we might all get up... lol

Cheers Damaris
