SQUELSH, SQUELSH

SQUELSH,  SQUELSH !
 
That's what it's like here at the moment.
Rain, Rain, Rain.
Since the end of January we've had more than a metre of rain!
That's more than 39 inches on the old scale.
 
Everything is soggy.
The grass is GREEN
There's mildew beginning to appear in hidden places
and your towel doesn't dry after your shower.
 
I don't mind.
I love the rain...
 
but today we had a little outing to brighten the day.
 
Tomorrow is Sally's birthday so we celebrated with High Tea.
 

 
A delightful diversion on a very rainy Saturday ( 3 more inches today so far ).
 
Happy Birthday Sally

Cheers.

  8. 39" of rain since January!
    Wow! January of which year?
    I thought you were in the middle of a 80' heat wave. With 39" of water you are going to need very high wellies!
    Cheers....B

  9. Happy Birthday Sally! High Tea looks wonderful.

    You've certainly had your fill of rain havent you? We can safely assume Queensland is out of drought I think!

  11. Now that is a cheering sight. All those cakes! Now, in the tradition where I come form, that would be an afternoon tea. What would make it a high tea would be a hot main dish before you start on the cakestand. But it looks fantastic whatever anybody might call it. Lucky Sal. Happy birthday!

  12. Hey Foody - perhaps 'High Tea' in Oz means - it is on three levels up from the table? :)
    I agree - that is just a snack for us in this neck of the woods too!
    But as you say - it looks fantastic.
