I might be wrong.

I said we wouldn't get any flooding this wet season but on the last day of summer the weather bureau has issued a warning that we may get a bit of rain this arvo. The pity is we just can't handle any more  and keep our feet dry.

Up again.

We've had a little bit of rain over the last few days, a bit more and our feet will be wet again.
I suppose if there was someone important living in our area they might make a effort to unclog the stream.

Grey sky, grey cars, but...

The shopping trolleys were out socialising in the car park today.

A bit run down.

I visited our botanical gardens this morning, and despite being neat and well tendered does look a bit sad and run down.
Not many flowers about but I took a poor one of this that I'm only posting because I noticed a spider trying to eke out an existence.

I suppose since the Tyto wetlands opened this lovely little central park is only secondary but seeing the padlock on the lavatory isn't a welcoming sign.

Typical.

After crushing the can it must have required too much energy to carry it to the rubbish bin, or even take it home and put it in the recycling bin.

Maybe we'd have been better off if we'd let the Japanese invade us in WW2, perhaps we'd know how to think of others instead of just ourselves if that'd happened.

Quiet before the storm.

I've been a fan of parliament broadcasts for near 40 years, more so now that it's on TV but I can't help but think things are going to explode any day now.

We know we have to vote in a State election at the end of March, and the local Government election a few weeks later, I can't help but sense the Federal Government shown here will collapse and have us voting again imminently.

Ants.

We've been overrun by these tiny things for a fair while now, if the ones in the bed are the same then they're probably Electric Ants, a recent unwanted pest import that are named for the pain inflicted from such a tiny thing. What does confuse me though is ours seem about 2 mm long, while the warning sent out only quotes them as 1.5 mm, perhaps they've grown and thrived at our place.

I notified the whatever department about them a couple of xmases ago but they must have been about to go into hibernation mode for summer as I never got a reply from them.
