Morning! Looks like I'm the only other one up, Bette! It's just me and the cat, eating breakfast and drinking tea. Almost time to go and have a shower and head off to work. I'd much rather be browsing Goodreads, though.

I haven't read that one Kathryn, so don't know about changes to the book, but I agree, it seems totally unnecessary!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments morning Bette!! I was up yesterday too, but a quick look then a walk then work, so no time to socialise. Still have to walk this morning, but there's no urgency to get away afterwards.....

Garden lovers Love Rain eh Phrynne? The poor plants are so confused with this weather...some of them already have their Spring clothes on!


message 12918: by Leonie (new)

Leonie (leonierogers) | 3569 comments I love rain! I just tipped 24mL out of the rain gauge. Have left the dogs' coats on them as they gave me sad looks when I suggested that it was time for them to come off. Lots of thunder and lightning here last night.

Morning, Bette. Looking at the time you posted, I'm guessing you're one of those who hadn't been to bed yet?

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) I wish it was thundering and raining here.

Pretty sure I've got some RSI in my right knee, absolutely killing me this morning. I am too young to be complaining about my knees.

Yes, a few of mine wearing spring clothes already.no rain here though just beautiful sunshine. Yet this morning it was grey.


message 12925: by Leonie (new)

Leonie (leonierogers) | 3569 comments And another thunderstorm. Cat is hiding under the table on a chair, and for whatever reason, the dogs have managed to get soaking wet, so they're not coming inside...

We are currently enjoying sun showers in Sydney.It's quite remarkable to see the rain pouring down and the sun beaming away at the same time.

One of our cats is a bit puzzled by it all. Sitting on the deck soaking up the sun one minute and the next belting inside to escape the rain. I can tell she's not impressed.

message 12931: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments I just discovered biscuits don't cook very well when you try to grill them, rather than bake them... And the really sad thing is took me at least 10 extra minutes after the supposed end of their cooking time to work out what the problem was!

Kathryn | 3569 comments They are now!! Not so much when I was trying to grill them!! I couldn't work out why they weren't browning and looked uncooked!

Mine hides under my legs or between the desk and the wall.

Your netball association is obviously kinder than ours. They called off a couple of timeslots that were particularly wet, but we got soaked a couple of times. It's days like these when I start to wonder if I really like netball that much!

Good morning on Sunday, Vicki. No, yesterday I'd been up since 2.30am. You know me. sleep (like gold) evades my grasp:) I'm later today, 4am.

Good Morning, Bette.
I knew you weren't one of those who hadn't been to bed! Sleep is even more precious than gold if you aren't getting any.....

I think he dumped all that sand on the other side of my bed Bette, judging by the amount of Zzzzzds emanating from that area!!
