Don’t U Just Love The Rain!

SMS. 7.32. (Rachel and Tom) Don’t u just love the rain! – christian

Morning Miss. How are you?

Can you see the flooding Yarra from where you are?

xT

What flooding doll? Doll! Doll!

Beck's not in as apparently Seddon is a carpark, right at the moment. Some scuzzy creek burst it's embankment. She made it to the bakery where she bought a coffee, a paper and a croissant and then headed home to Yarraville.

Apparently the Westgate Bridge is a nightmare with traffic banked back to Lara.

Fitzroy, on the other hand stood like a sentinel to strength and good taste, as you would imagine. Only the Elms along Victoria Parade dropped branches (I mean ever Elm tree along Victoria Parade) as a sign of respect for all of the lesser suburbs.

It was such a glorious morning in the north. Almost perfect.

The bay is a picture, I can see all the way to the heads. Clear as the proverbial bell.

Goodness! A small price to pay for my amusement and edification. I love the wind and the rain. The swirly, whirly, burly wind and rain. I lay in bed last night and was lulled to sleep by it's rhythmic force. Lovely! It does me the power of good!
