Rain, rain, go away, come again another day!

Who'd have thought! I actually want the rain to go away. Here at the Sunshine Coast we've had loads of it - not as heavy as in the central and northern parts of the state - but still, days and days of it. Summer rain isn't constant here, it comes in dribs and drabs. I've driven the highway to Brisbane and back again in torrential rain one minute, then showers, nothing, then heavy rain again. Almost every day recently. I'm pleased to say the Brisbane dams are now over 35% full, but the drought isn't quite over yet. Toowoomba, my old home town, still hasn't had it's water supply significantly improved, yet it is green and lush to look at. There's a lot more to come, the monsoonal activity to the north is still very active and there's a month or more left still to go.

Now, another reason for holding off is the fact that the builder hasn't had enough dry weather to get the foundations finsihed on the house. We have some materials, some plumbing in place, but that's all. The picture was taken yesterday, hopefully they've got more done today.
