Wind & Water

This is starting to annoy me. Just before I left for Melbourne in 10 facts about new hidden object games January I planted some sunflower seeds. In cat food supplements the last few days they have grown taller than me and they are now even taller than M! So they're at least six and a half foot high - they're amazing. But we are currently getting winds up to 100kmp/h and they have almost been annihilated. M and I were out at the vegie patch in our gortex jackets hammering stakes to try and save them from being blown over. My corn isn't looking so great either, but at least it's not top heavy like my sunflowers. I was already pissed off that I was going to miss them when they flowered as I have to head south v.soon, but to have them ripped out by the wind... GRRRROWL. The smeariness of this picture is due to the torrents of rain that you can't see very clearly.

...and here's a close up of my sunflowers :o(

Oh. M has just come in armed with his Super8 camera to announce that our little bridge that my dad and Terry fixed up over our creek has just been submerged. Great. More updates soon. OK. I've become a meteorlogical geek. The cats are inside, thanks for asking...
