Sunday

Today I got the Troopie ready....















Drove and parked in the Blue Mountains here.....















Looked at this view through the rain....















And spent two hours riding to here......
















To sit, have lunch, and look at this view through the rain...

  2. Rain again for you.. what a summer! We have actually had some rain this weekend - amazingly. The lawn is suddenly green again.
    Had 1000 Harleys here in town this weekend. The boy racers were remarkably quiet, as they looked so puny by comparison.
    I had three days work last week, and have been booked already for three days this week. My siesta existence is suddenly over!(and lorenzo can stop panicking that she can't keep up with my rate of blog posting.)

  4. Poor old Oz. It is very cold here too, but beautiful blue skies. Out in the garden for a bit of digging soon!

  5. Actually, I have noticed on the weather in recent weeks that we are often warmer than Sydney!!! While we have had many many days in the high 20s, I have seen you languishing in the low 20s. For February, that is most unexpected!

  6. Well mate, I guess you could say the drought is over now?

  7. I think about 50% of the state is drought declared which is a huge drop form the 90% a few months ago.
    There are still areas that are in bad shape.

    I just think of all that rain water going down the drains here in Sydney and think what a waste.

  8. And how did that rain make you feel? (Separate to the exciting drive/ride of course).

    They're lovely photos as always Simon.

    Did you know the video of the Diamond Python made MY day!?

  15. Hi Lin- thanks yes its good overall... a bit frustrating to ride a bike because it does wear them out quick... but the environment really loves it.
    There are only 2 seasons in Australia:- Wet and dry!

  16. No I wasn't in Kurrajong because the rain evaporated before reaching our heads! Around the Harbour's edge where there's always plenty of water anyway. No good for cycling!

  19. Maalie and angels don't really go together anyhow ;-) I suspect that hmso has become active because a certain person has become too well known as an atheist to have any credibility on fundy blogs anymore. So he is bored :-)
