It's a screenshot of the radar over the south west of Western Australia. The whole area is covered by blues and greens, indicating moderate falls. As I type this, the rain just got harder – we've had 41mm since last night and could get up to 70mm (that's a bit more than1½ to 3½ inches for those of you who like inches – which is pretty much everyone, isn't it? Inches are a cool measurement)

   If anyone needs us over here in the far corner of Western Australia, we'll be prepping our boats and sandbags...

   Just kidding, it's fine so far – more steady rain than torrential downpour, and nothing like destructive winds and flooding the poor folk further north have had to endure.

   It is *quite* wet though. I have a you-didn't-sleep-long-enough headache so I'm hoping to schedule a nap later, and we have power so there is plenty of tea. The chimney is leaking just a little bit and the gutters are reminding us that they need replacing. Hopefully all this water will make it to the dams and tanks after a very dry summer
