Well, someone at BOM got that ahsabout. I am looking out my window at a clear, cloudless sky and a gentle breeze. Not a sight of rain. Rain would be most welcome though.

[DiscoMick]

Put the BOM radar for Brisbane on 512ks and look at the clouds heading our way. Prediction is 100% for rain later this arvo, as has happened most days recently.

Brolly? Really? Do you walk down the sidewalk eating a cookie while holding your brolly? [biggrin]

I walk down the footpath eating a biscuit while holding my UMBRELLA! [bigrolf]

[Pedro_The_Swift]

You would be better off eating your umbrella and using the cookie as rain coverage...
I've seen the size of your cookies,,, [tonguewink]

May was last time we had any decent rain at my place in Brisbane . They keep saying we are having all this rain but not at my place would not have had enough to fill an egg cup in last two weeks. Grass is dead only got dirt to mow, wiper blades have stuck to wind screen & tanks are empty. The only thing we are getting out of the storms is thunder .

Your brolly would've needed re-enforcement at Tansey, today.

Last night a thunderstorm formed up to the S. & SW. About 6.30 we got a Barcoo shower (Banjo Patterson) six raindrops and some dust. No need for a brolly. An agile person could have dodged between the raindrops.Today before noon we got some decent rain but f-all since. Any precipitation would be welcome.

Well all those heading to Flemington today will need their ‘Brollies’ that’s for sure. Lovely drop of rain most of the way across the state today - hope the farmers are getting what they need.

The richy rich set at the Cup will get drowned today - how sad... 😁

Nice day to watch a glue factory doing laps.

I’m making a huge batch of Ruby Grapefruit Marmalade at the moment - got pile of them from a friend the other day and they’re good for nothing else and today is a perfect jam making day.👍

[loanrangie]

I might start a pale ale.

I read that the Cup Runneth Over today. [bigwhistle]

Had no water in the tanks at all yesterday maybe 500ltrs, was gonna buy 25k ltrs tommorow if we didn't catch any. Caught about 10k litres off half the house into the poly tank, I havnt checked the concrete one but I'm guessing it's pretty full it has heaps more catchment. If I owned the place I'd have double the capacity. Might go have a look at moonee ponds creek which runs through the guts of my place, it normally fills up about 2mtrs with this type of down pour pretty scary.
Very Happy[emoji106]
