It’s raining!

I know you coastal people aren’t too excited by rain but for us people in the centre it’s pretty special. It hasn’t rained for 6 months. We are having a wet cold day of non stop rain.  David, who is here from Melbourne, thinks the West Macdonnells look like the Blue Mts because they are half covered in misty clouds.  I’m not sure I’m quite with him there but the atmosphere here is certainly different to how it usually is.  I’m sure it is raining because it is a long weekend and we had made plans to go camping with our neighbours out to their traditional land… or it might be because I finally got around to washing the cars last weekend.  Any way, the rain has driven me inside so I am blogging. Keith and Glen are undeterred and are up at the hut installing the old windows we merrily brought up from Sydney care of Qantas. You know the woman at the airport didn’t even weigh them. She asked Keith how much they weighed and he said a number under our luggage limit and then she stuck stickers on them and told us to take them to Special Baggage. So we brought up 7 old windows Keith took out of some house before it was demolished. They will contribute to the special recycled nature of the hut.
