That's us in the blue
We are certainly having a lot of weather lately. This is the rain depression from ex Tropical Cyclone Oswald. The "bom.gov.au" has had so many hits that it has stopped working for a while. According to the radar, a large golden patch passed over us just now and that means heavy rain. We have had non-stop rain for about 36 hours now. A large tree branch has fallen right across the road right here, but some good Sam. has chopped it up and thrown it aside.
Our water tanks were filled to overflowing at 4.00pm yesterday. The ground is getting a good soak.
Worse to come tonight, they say.
I picked every red tomato I possibly could, yesterday. They will split with all this rain.
We smoked some tomatoes, zucchini, spring onion. I made a little chicken casserole with the smoked tomatoes in amongst the sauce. I added an eggplant and a red hot chilli. I served it with cous cous.
