Rain!!! Rain!!! And More Rain!!!!

Well I realize if you live in the tropics of far north Queensland you have to expect rain but this is getting ridiculous! Here I am an hour drive from home and a bit weary of traveling around the range ( as its quite dangerous ) to get to my place of abode.
Yes this is the gorgeous tree at the front of my property, beautiful red flowers when its in bloom!!  But anyway as I was saying, trying to get home was a bit of a nightmare.  So I thought I'd stay down in Cairns till at least the rain...ha...I mean deluge stopped or eased off!!!!   My husband stays in cairns for a couple of nights a week as the trip back is soo tireing when working all day, and I go down for a sleepover to keep him company!   But I was beginning to regret that decision as I hunted in the fridge for something for lunch. Men....leave them to look after themselves for just a short time and beware!!!   Everything in the fridge has to be studied....either...... way outta date or off .....no butter....smell the milk....arrrr, managed to find 2 pieces of stale bread, a can of salmon and had a cuppa with the last drop of luckily ok milk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!          So finally after a few hours  I trudged off to wind my way home along the ocean road under a heavy sky.  Luckily it stopped raining on the way but it was getting quite dark and stormy looking!The sea was very rough and the water was gushing very fast along the sides of the road!   Well it is the wet season and I can't really complain because we've had an exceptionally good summer with nice days and not too much humidity,  but I guess it's going to make up for it now!!!!   Told my sis who's coming up for a holiday to bring her galoshes, she said target had very noice leopard pair so maybe I'll dash down and invest in some too and we can be the matching pair!!!!!!!     Only hope she doesn't mind frizzy hair!!!!!!!
