Good morning all on this, once again, overcast, humid Saturday though it is supposed to brighten up later.
It was very windy last night but there was only 3mm of rain in the gauge this morning. I have just returned from taking the dog for a quick walk (quick in time not pace) returned just in time for another shower. Feel sorry for the kids stuck inside all day though they do not seem to mind.
Today is the 22nd anniversary of the terrible Canberra bushfires when 70% of the ACT went up in flames due to a dry lightning strike. It shows the difference between that fire and the LA fires in that only about 500 homes were lost and 4 people killed. The total ACT population was only about 300,000 then compared to millions in LA (4 million?).
It is also the birthday of the World’s Greatest Treasurer and PM, Paul Keating, it was the Hawke/Keating government in the 1980s that set Australia up for a recession free future.
Meanwhile the grass is growing like there is no tomorrow but far too wet to mow yet.
I hope you are getting better weather, what are your plans for the weekend?
Take care…
