7.8mm!!!

that's how much rain we've had in the last 24 hrs. i never thought i'd be so excited about rain but its great. i wish it would keep coming (at least for a day or 2, then i'd be over it). it started last nite and rained hard(ish) for a bit during the nite and then we've had a couple showers today. i'm sur that such a small amount of rain didn't really do much except dampen the ground a bit but its a start. it's amazing how green everyone's lawns look now that they're wet today. its rediculously humid too (like sydney in summer-- everything is damp and feels like it'll never dry....except we're in melbourne and in the middle of a drought so i'm sure it'll all dry up in a couple days).
