The river in town flooded last night. Today we didn’t get a drop, but I had to try three different ways to get to work this morning because there was a lake in the centre of town and quite a few roads were closed.
Last day of school tomorrow. Woo hoo.
It’s been so hot for so long here. Lots of people have been complaining about hot classrooms and hot libraries and just hot. Last night there were some clouds in the sky and I hoped for rain. I went to the supermarket and when I came home, the sky was cloudless again. Each day it is in the 30s. February so far has had an average daily temperature of 31.
I was reading one of my favourite books to my class today “Out of the Dust” by Karen Hesse. On one page it read something like ‘It rained everywhere today but here’ or something like that. I thought, “I know how you feel!”.
Perhaps the swimming carnival will bring rain.
