On Tuesday I decided I would work out at the University of Queensland library so that I could avoid all the distractions at home (World of Warcraft, food-from-the-fridge). It had the delightful advantage of air-conditioning, which, when I woke up and discovered we had 93% humidity, became a real drawcard.
A fairly pleasant and productive day, but we have been having the most rain we have had for a very long time – several weeks worth of rain, which is not how we usually get it here in south-east Queensland. Last time we were out there, in about August, it was a complete dustbowl, with trees dying left right and centre.
Happy to report that 3 weeks of rain makes it Really Quite Pleasant:
