It’s a wet start to summer, the Bremer River is in spate which is always a concern. It’s metres from the height that would cause me problems, however it has risen very quickly because the rain hasn’t stopped for two days. Mid week I could see the sand bar in the middle of the river at King Edwards Parade and today it would be under maybe seven or eight metres of water.

It’s good to get out in the fresh air even though the sweat is running down the shuch o’me arse but I’d rather have that than being stuck inside for another day. I’m out on the bike and the humidity is so high that the sweat is running into my eyes.

I dropped off my library book and then went for a slow ride via the cafe so that I could get a blueberry Danish and coffee, my excuse is that I need fuel for the way home.

The drainage in the garden coped well with the rain but I think I can improve a few areas which I will work on either today if I can be bothered or tackle it during the week when the sun returns.

I’m not working tomorrow, well not as I write this because the school run I’ve been doing finished on Friday, mind you I might pick up a bit here and there over the coming weeks.

This is the beginning of two months of a break which is not good for the finances but good for the soul.
