Rain, Rain, Rain

Rain. Beautiful Rain. It's been so long since Bendigo has had any decent rain, l can't remember when the last time was. People are smiling again. Our main water supply, Lake Eppalock was down to 1.7% capacity. The tree's in my front garden even look like they are smiling again. Is that possible ? I mean for a tree to smile ? Don't care, they look like they are smiling to me. I am smiling. There is not a blade of grass to be seen at my house. All dust. The dust has finally been settled. I've got a windcheater on. Doesn't sound like much but to the people of Central Victoria, it is just awesome.

It was a peaceful day. Did a bit of grocery shopping, watched the tennis and of course the beach cricket. Cleaned my house and hand washed all my polished floorboards. Don't know why l bothered because Billy had some of his mates over who walked mud right through my house. One should not complain but should be grateful for the rain. I pray that it continues. Kim was over after tea but l so did not feel like talking about nothing. She got the hint and had gone home by 10 o'clock. Maybe l am becoming a recluse? I am so over people and everything they have to say at the moment. It simply wouldn't bother me if l saw nobody. I could quiet simply just lay here and watch the rain fall.
