Wet
I think we’re still officially in drought, and I know that it takes more than a couple of days of rain to break the drought, but it rained most of Saturday and now it’s raining again today - since midnight even!
It was cold yesterday and by the time I got home the clothes on the line were nearly dry. You know, that can’t quite tell if they’re wet or just cold? So I left them. The forecast for today was 25C, so I figured they get dry today and I would have them inside by lunchtime. Then it started to rain at midnight. By the time you hear it, it’s too late. So I still have wet clothes.
Its hard to photograph rain. First you need a dark background (finally found one by the fence) and then you have to get down really low. So while the perspective of this photo looks a bit weird - it’s the best I could do.

Old Shoes, New Shoes
My dear son C6, has a pair of sandshoes. He wears them everywhere. He loves them to bits. They have stretched themselves to accomodate his growing feet. I think they have to go…..
He doesn’t want a new pair of shoes because he likes these shoes. So when I went shopping I found these in Spendless Shoes. The flashing lights in the heels even work!
Think he’ll like them?
