Wednesday, December 27/2023


 Rain not expected in the next week according to the Met office. Hopefully more accurate than the weather apps that are pleased to tell you with impressive precision that rain will begin in seventeen minutes - when it’s already raining. And in fact we haven’t had any since Saturday even though December is statistically the rainiest month here. That’s probably true in terms of frequency of rain but it’s still a pretty dry country and creek beds near our place are dry although the orchards and flowering shrubs seem to be flourishing. Temperatures still around twenty at midday.
