Sunshine! Blue sky! Shadows!
A mown lawn!
The neighbour kindly mowed the lawn for us, using up all his lunchtime. He says it's in exchange for catsitting their cats while they're on holidays, but seriously, it's not a big issue. The cats are complete sweeties and almost always amenable to a snuggle. (Well, one of them is.)
Anyway, we'll take them a dozen eggs as a special thank you.
Also: LAWN CLIPPINGS AHOY. Considering just how sodden everything got, the chookens were delicately stepping through mud at the height of the rains. Now we shouldn't get more rain like that (shouldn't) but meteorology has no guarantees.
I did get the coop rinsed off, I was thinking to get it sprayed tomorrow, but am a bit worried about the rain. However, in the meantime I have tried to hunt up rubber gloves for handling the pesticide and discover that one or both of my sisters have made off with all the disposable gloves in the house. *sigh* B1 probably has a set in her car, but she's out right now.
So tomorrow morning de-miting the coop and surrounding areas is going to be it.

I think I'm going to end up in Team 3 for hockey this year. Just not good enough or noticeable enough (or fit enough) to be in Team 2.

Trying to import my older LJ in to DW but it keeps failing. I think it's a connection issue.

Guardian Australia has some time-lapse footage of the flooding in Queensland.
Also from Guardian Australia: Lynching Postcards: a harrowing documentary about confronting history: I haven't watched/read this article, this is for later looking through.
I'm fairly sure the same kind of thing happened in Australia. Culture and people being what they are.
