The birds are depressed

Today's weather forecast was "The day will be dull and overcast across the region with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, and with mist and patchy fog becoming extensive by evening. Maximum Temperature 10C." Can barely see across the field in front of the house. It's very quiet - no birds singing. A pigeon perched in a tree seemed to be waiting for something to happen. Nothing did.

No shopping today

I was going shopping but I changed my mind, even if I have run out of chocolate. This was the view from my window this afternoon.

Heavy showers

They've had gale force winds and coastal flooding in the west today. We got off relatively lightly, though I did get soaked going to the Post Office.

Wet and windy

Rained all day. This is the wind blowing through the eucalyptus tree in next door's garden.

Soggy sky

I ventured no further than the front door today, where I came across this drop of water on the Virginia creeper.

Brief break in the clouds

It was a rainy day today.
