Whatever happened to Summer

Rain, rain and more rain seems to be our record of Summer. We have had some very hot patches of weather but the overall memory of this summer has been of a wet one.
Sydney water storage dams have had there storage level increased by more than 30%.

With all this water in the ground the next thing that happens is the sun comes out and the humidity shoots up. This also brings out the mosquitoes!! We just cant win.



Every container that is left out becomes a water storage facility.




We haven't had rain like this for years. At the beginning of this month, it was 20 years since the river flooded over the bridge in North Richmond and this year was the closest it got.



The ground is so wet that we have lost a couple of well established large bushes which screened us from neighbours.



Approximately six metres high and five wide.

Ah well, another couple of trips to the tip.
