Well after days of rain.. we are not complaining.. we have had 12.58" to date our usual average for June is a little over 5" we have finally caught up and surpassed the annual average by an inch or so. This is all good news as we drink what the heavens send us or have to buy water at $70 US a load to put in our tanks. The weather man says the sunshine is short lived as we are to expect more rain on and off over next few days.

I have to wash my used to be white puppy who has been dancing in mud puddles all week. Enjoy the weekend

its 5:28pm... its raining so hard I can barely see out across the street. There is no way I am getting on my moped in rush hour with this torrential rain. It has been pouring for 2 or 3 full days now....considering sleeping under my desk... i conned co worker into going to pick us up dinner... if rain continues tomorrow I will begin rounding up animals in pairs.

Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. See how.

Yesterday it poured...and poured ...and poured.... dont get me wrong im not complaining. We needed the rain!!! The rain did let up around noon for the latest protest against the Premier and the turn out was pretty good. I will post some pics of the protest below. Today its mostly clear with a light breeze but we are expecting more showers tomorrow and early next week.

I finally got around to purchasing a battery operated radio for the storm season..$13.95 and itworks like a charm...it also allowed us to listen to the debates in parliament last night which had me unsure if i wanted to laugh or cry. When the politicians finished rambling at 5am they voted and defeated the motion of no confidence...so the Premier will stay in power... all that seems to have been achieved was more racial rhetoric and division.....

this week ill have my husband do a check on the boards we use if we need to board up and ill also determine who has the best price on batteries and stock up on those. ill also find his drill...it never seems to be charged when we need it....i bet its burried in the hall closet somewhere...

Warm and humid today. Mostly cloudy with a few sprinkles. At one point the clouds were so dark I thought we might get a thunder storm but it fizzled out. I expect that will be the theme for most of this holiday weekend. We need as much rain as we can get at this point as our tanks are running low.

Below are some pics i took from the Queens B day celebration in Hamilton today. The regiment was out in full force and looking pretty sharp. The premiere and the Governor were also present.... interesting as we are having some politcal issues at the moment. Bermuda accepted 4 gitmo detainees who were found not guilty of terrorism. The 4 men are being allowed to settle here as residents. A whole big hulla bu loo followed...people upset they allowed them in, people upset the premiere didnt go through the proper channels, people upset they have been here for years working hard and contributing and they still are foced to leave due to immigration restrictions etc etc etc..... opposition party table a no confidence motion on Friday and i suspect next week will be full of more drama and politcal antics.

On another note...on my list of things to do ths week is buy a radio for the storm season and check my battery stash.
