South Australia-storms and rain

[cookie1]

I do hope Judy, Amanda, Trudy  and other SA thermomixers are all ok with the nasty weather you are having. I'm thinking of you. Take care.

Thanks Cookie, you are a sweetie    I'm fine here but it was the windiest I have ever experienced as we live in a sheltered area and rarely get huge winds.  Others may not be so lucky but I certainly hope so too. It seems as if most of Eastern & South Australia is copping it at the moment but I noticed Perthites wearing short sleeves at their footy match today.

I'm so glad you are ok Judy.

Yes it was a bit warm here today. A little overcast. They keep forcasting rain but it never comes. Perth got next to nothing out of the big front that is shaking everyone up over there. It came in from the north and didn't really come down to us.

Meganjane how are you going for rain?

Where we are, we had 44ml of rain in 24 hours.  That is such a lot for us, well needed though but I feel for people who are getting more rain than they can handle.

That is a lot JulieO, we got 24 mls here in our suburb (others always get a lot more than us)  but I think there is more on the way today sometime. The Royal Adelaide Show will certainly suffer in attendances this year - who would want to go there in weather like this.  Mind you, people did but some of side-show alley was closed down for people's safety. Pity for both the stall holders and the children as they look forward to it each year.

Yes I saw some brave souls on the news who had gone    Hopefully the weather will dry up for a few days especially next weekend to give people, children especially a chance to enjoy all it offers.

Hope everyone in SA is OK and that the weather calms down soon!!

Hope you are all OK. Hard for us to imagine bad weather as Perth was beautiful & sunny today. Perfect for fathers day B-B-Q

Have been hoping all our SA people were ok.  We ran out of computer space/time so haven't been active until today.  I think I may have been posting too many recipes  .  Weather doesn't look too bad for next few days but there is always some flow on.  The good news is that the Bush fire season will start later.

Keep safe everyone.

We had about 40mls all up, but so windy! We have a couple of trees down in our driveway. My husband went surfing on Thursday, he said it was raining on him whilst he was surfing, and hailing on him when he got out.
The footy finals have started here for local footy, luckily hubs game was today. Yesterday, the A Grades final score was 5 ponts vs 1 goal 5. It was so windy, they couldn't kick a goal further than about 2ms away! They had to tape their ears up so they didn't get damaged, and a few netballers and footballers were taken to hospital with suspected hypothermia.

Forgot to mention - I was doing a demonstration on Saturday, the power went out 6 times!!!!!! It was usually just a flicker, but the last time we waited an hour, and it still wasn't on, so we called it a day. The bread was just ready to go in the oven, and the sorbet was about 5 minutes cooked. Disaster!

Next you will have to be carting a BBQ with lid!

Just rereading my post, in case anyone was wondering, my risotto was 5 minutes cooked, not my sorbet!
