"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet". Roger Miller

What a weekend! The floods came and went leaving behind a lot of mess to clean up. We are on a sloping block so not much chance of water building up inside but it did feel like we were in the middle of a fast flowing river. How can it rain that much?  Many of the roads around us were cut off and some of us had to search out alternative places to stay until the water subsided and the roads reopened. Crazy weather...and the forecast says more rain!

It was great to have some cool weather after the previous week where we tipped 40C. When it gets to 40C you know it is HOT! Not really knitting weather but inspired by Kaylee's Zhu Zhu pets' carrier I knitted up a bed/carrier for the wee gnome babies. It is knitted in DK cotton and has a moss stitch bottom and garter stitch sides.

I've also been continuing the knitting of the Augustine Shawlette and I'm pleased to say I have started the decreases for the second half. Because of the yarn and needles that I used it is long but the colours are looking lovely. Pictures of the finished project soon :)

Cheers,
Lynda
