The sun is trying to break through the clouds and we're now up to 19C (feels like 17C) while the escarpment is proving too much for what is coming in from the coast.

But I'm still not going to drag the power tools outside to finish that guttering job off, as it'll likely start to rain again as soon as I do.

Cheers.

By 'eck it's even more wet!!!


Hopefully, Putin is similarly quagmired in wet mud for some time yet!...

Note to NATO: Appeasement is not a strategy...

No it isn't.

The experts here certainly got our expected max wrong as we're now at 22C (feels like 21C) as the rain comes down again.

Cheers.

Wow!

That would make for a beautifully warm mud bath!!!!

Just out west the mud would be even warmer with temps in the 30-32C range out there. ;-)

Anyhow it's time for a 2nd beer. :-)

Cheers.

Putin makes his mess...


Meanwhile, over in a more civilized world, we have a ford where the only things passing through are lots of water and mud... Between the clouds, we enjoyed a beautifully bright orange sunset across the soggy landscape.

Rather insignificant really compared to the wider world...

Well I should've put a jacket on for my morning yard inspection as the easterly wind came up while I was out there and the sun was trying to break through when I started (it was a damp 17C here at sunrise) after more lite overnight rain (I'll definitely have 1 on when I check the rain gauge at 9am). The ground is also once again getting soft underfoot and it'll get a lot softer if that mess just on the other side of the border comes down over it.

Anyhow it's time for a coffee break.

[edit] After dumping 6mm out of the gauge (MTD:71.75mm/YTD:166.5mm) I got a chance to throw around some Dynamic Lifter over some weak areas of the grass just as more wind driven drizzle around.

Cheers.

I'm not winning today as everytime I step outside I get hit by a new bout of wind driven drizzle. I've tried a few times now to go out and start cutting more turf to extend the new drainage ditch along the high side of the yard, but as soon as I get out there with the spade it comes back in. :-(

It's not nice getting hit in the eyes by it so I guess that I'll give up with that job as well for the time being and go and have a LLB. ;-)

Cheers.

They decided to have a work shift tonight. Missing some people do to weather road conditions. At least we will get our 40 hours in this week. Don’t want to drive home on that frozen slushy mess of a road after work. Will try to keep the greasy side down and out of the ditches.

Winning before work.

Winning at work.

This is what I call inventory weather. Count all your fingers, toes, arms and legs before going outback. Then count everything again to see if anything’s been frozen off.

Well, well, well, what a sea-change...

Fair fine sky, patches of clear blue, mild and calm. The surface water is receding. And enjoying a nicely quiet lunch break. Have the rest of the locality sneaked off sunbathing?

Meanwhile, spoilt for choice for which task to clear next...

To be decided over food and a brew...

Is it Friday yet?

Well a wet Friday has turned into a wet Saturday here.

Cheers.

Have the rest of the locality sneaked off sunbathing?

They are not doing that here. Not even after sauna. The temps -9°C with a-14°C wind chill.

---

There'll be no sunbathing going on here either as this damp weather is expected right through until next weekend at the very least.

My yard will be a jungle again by the time it dries out enough to get the mower back onto it. :-(

Cheers.
