The rain

Raining heavily here in Melbourne now with lightning and thunder. Right on cue for day 1 of the tennis

Edit: it's so dark here the street lights have come on!

Rained here the other night.

Nice. Funny how many say it always rains in Melbourne. And maybe Hobart.

What is Melbourne’s average rainfall? Sometimes I wish I didn’t live in an area with an average of 250mm , especially when I grow plants for a living
