It's Muggly Outside




 Humid, sticky, muggy, ugly.  Moisture is streaming in from the north, the north of here being Queensland. The pictures on the link say so little, the heart break, the loss. 

So we wait, hoping that the rain will be gentle, and not in Queensland quantities.  So far weather forecasts for my area have not included warnings, but just one storm is all it takes. We wanted and needed rain, but not this much.






The ants prepare for the next few days.  
This construction is on the second step. How much rain are the ants forecasting?

Green Is This Summer's Colour


After ten years of drought, Spring has dumped enough rain to keep the backyard green; the picture is from the my front of my place, the trees look better than the backyard, which is full of plants that laughs at weed killer.  Possibly need industrial strength but I don't like using weed killers all that much.  I'm old enough to remember what happened to the jungle in Vietnam.

The downside, STOP, I have wanted green like this for ten years and now I am going to complain about having to cut grass. 

It's just that I've forgotten how much effort goes into cutting grass, so now after one or three rounds of cutting grass I'm not satisfied, am I unfit, or just over cutting grass, could try getting old, my wish list has a ride on mower speeding to the top.  Yeah I'm complaining.

Note to self;  Enjoy the green Summer, this is what was on your wish list for ten years, so don't complain.  Green grass is not a problem.

A Thing


I thought, was the object whose name had just slipped from my mind or my tongue could only manage to get out 'that thing' because the name of the object had somehow lost itself while travelling from brain to tongue.  

I found out yesterday, that there is A Thing in Sherwood Forest.  Yes, the forest made famous by the Robin Hood story.  A Thing, is Viking, and has nothing to do with their infamous rape and pillage of other peoples land, but was a meeting place where Vikings discussed law and order.  Civil Vikings?  No I didn't know that either.

Historical Societies and archaeologists are about to knock-themselves-out by rummaging around the forest surveying and recording A thing.
