Yet another really wet day up here – that’s maybe 4 or 5 days in a row we’ve had solid rain. We’ve been fortunate compared to some other areas of the state; some pockets of houses have been smashed by lemon sized hailstones that have broken roofs and windows.

Mum and Dad’s house had a broken skylight, so Brendan and I ducked down there Saturday night and put some tarping up until it can be fixed. There could be a bit of a wait given the amount of damage across the city.

I’m having a pretty lazy day at home with the kids. Little One wanted me to take some photos…

Today – Sunday March 7th – is the annual Clean Up Australia Day. The Girl Guides got involved, as they always do, so big girl and I spent a couple of hours picking up rubbish and recyclables from the grassland around the bandstand in Princes Park.

Big Girl wanted to walk part of the way to school today. Took a few photos on the way.
