Monday was washday and it felt good to get all the washing dry in the hot sunny breeze rather than leave it to when we get home to cold, foggy Chobham! Also big storms were forecast for Brisbane so it was of double benefit. It was still very hot and humid and you could feel the weather change building up. We made the best of the rest by doing our usual town visit, lunch out, a trip to the lagoon to photograph the birds (who had all taken off due to the heat!) and a swim. Needed that but it is impossible to get dry in the humidity. We watched the dark clouds roll over from the west and decided it was time to go when they turned dark green! Quick bike back to await the storm and about half an hour later the world turned black and the heavens let fly! Great thunderclaps, lightning and heavy rain for about 4 hours. We were glad of Australia’s Funniest Videos and the bubonic plague to entertain us!
