Sitting in upper hunter with the power failing due to thunderstorms, tell you one thing, there’s water somewhere in NSW. About time though.

Hey, Archie, Glad to see you're getting some rain at long last. Not too happy about your blackouts though.
I have a sister down that way and feed is very scarce and water non existent - river dry, well not much better and hand feeding stock..
.We had a storm pass through here last arvo and only got 6mm.I think we're in a rain shadow, can see the rain clouds coming but always seems to be on the other side of the hills....
Don't worry about the blackout, nothing on TV tonight anyways...now the footy finished.
Boom, Boom! Tikka, Tikka, Boom! Shoot first, video later.

Nature is amazing, eh.

Not the slightest sign of a rabbit here since March, all the warrens were ghost towns, no new frigging scratch holes to turn your ankles.

Then this morning, walking the dog around to sniff down them as she likes every morning, there was signs of renovations going on at 4 out of 6 that we visited, an invasion of Tony Rabbots, and bugger me I'm at the front yard right now, shooting off the bonnet and collected 4 in 15 minutes, I've got a cuppa, and I can smell the porterhouse I'm hot smoking for dinner.

Does it get much better?
