At last, it's raining!!! Thursday we got a decent bit of rain too, soaking rain that is so good for the garden and lawns, and since we have water restrictions and can't leave sprinklers on, it was very welcome. It's cooled down somewhat too. Yesterday was stifling hot, cloudy and perfect burning conditions, but the weather for the Junee Show yesterday turned out to be perfect to attract the crowds.
I told Alex there was no way he was going unless he got in there and cleaned his bedroom, and it took until 5 pm yesterday to get him to do it. He did a good job and the floor is spotless, so we both went to the Show for a few hours. Carly went with a friend (after me telling her she wasn't allowed), and although she had no money she managed to have a good time. It's the 3rd show that Carly's been to in the last month, and I'm not the Bank of Australia! Something she doesn't seem to comprehend!!!
The fireworks display was spectacular last night, and went for quite a while. We left around 8:30 and watched the end of Thunderbirds, followed by Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines was on TV when we got home. Arnie looked pretty good back then and Alex was impressed with his muscles.
Daylight Saving started last night and so it was actually an hour later when I went to bed at 12:30am. I hate missing out on that hour when daylight saving starts. I know you catch up eventually, but it's just not the same. Next year we're having a lot more daylight saving time. Daylight saving for future summers begins at 2 am, Eastern Standard Time, on the first Sunday in October and ends at 3 am summer time on the first Sunday in April. This means that residents in New South Wales have an additional three weeks of daylight saving at the beginning and one week at the end.
