Extreme Weather & Red Mud
Not much sewing, just one more string block. What is happening here is some extreme weather with winds to 90km/hr, and a bit more rain thank goodness.
I have been under the house in the red mud trying to get the new rainwater tank hooked up. It is now connected in a dodgy sort of way, but connected, as I was desperate to get some of this rain into it. It's a big sucker (considering where it had to go), and as we tried to tip it from its side to an upright position, it looked like we weren't going to be able to do it. But on the last try, we moved it just enough to get it to clear the roof. No photos of it today as it is dark and gloomy under there and it's pretty miserable outside, and I tell you what - I'm not going down there into the mud to take a photo, blog or not! I will share my shoes with you so you can see what I have been playing in.
Unfortunately the weather system is now moving north, taking most of the rain, and just leaving the wind. I tell you it's pretty exciting down on the jetty, and I saw someone's back verandah roof which had blown off today.
Think I will do some sewing tomorrow, as the weather will still be miserable.
That must be some nasty stuff to get out of the laundry! Can't wait for pictures. What is your annual rainfall? Ours is around 9".
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're getting some rain, sorry about the wind though. Love the picture of the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI guess red mud is better than red dust. Did you manage to get your new tank filled?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are getting the much needed rain and that the tank came in time to catch a little more of it for a future day. That is a lot of red mud you've got there . . . I'd be stickin' to the indoors and sewing, too *s8
