While the roads flood and roofs leak, and the SES and fireservice are in overdrive around Sydney, it's worth remembering that all this much needed rain is causing more damage than good where it counts. Most of the State's dams remain under 10% and Sydney's main dam is currently only up to 44%. Alarmingly.
So water restrictions still apply and don't start the celebrations yet. We've a long, long way to go before we're out of danger.
There was still time to get out and end the New Year Celebrations with a few drinks with friends. So for me, the weekend wasn't a total waste. It did seem strange however to cosy up indoors for a whole weekend after so long....
What did you do this weekend?

it's good to see and to hear that you are over the worst of the drought. As you say, best not to get complacent just yet. Enjoy the good times.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you finally got some much needed rain. I could go for a drink that looks like yours! :)
ReplyDeleteI’ve been praying for Australia! That is too bad that the rain is destructive.

Rain always brings much needed joy!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that it's either hot weather, drought and bushfires - so we burn, or it's ill-placed torrential rain, floods and mudslides - so we drown :-( We'll get through this one way or another...
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
