(to quote Edith Sitwell, or Roxy Music, or Black Sabbath). Except that - despite the torrents of rain we'd had during the week, and the forecasts - the rain held off on Sunday afternoon. And we even saw a patch or two of blue sky!
There was plenty of evidence on our route of how much water had fallen from the sky and run down Cabbage Tree Creek in the past few days. Everyone got his or her feet a bit damp, and Pablo loved the mud. Jacarandas were in flower, and everything looked very green and lush.
Back home here, our hare Shockjock had even swept out the leaf litter from the shelter! And the toilet was unlocked! Luxury! We thanked Upstanding for five years of service as Beermeister, and thanked both Idle Vice and Upstanding for their years of looking after the washing up. Thanks to our hares for marking the trail so diligently, for the meal, and for turning off the rain....
Here are a few pictures, courtesy of Cash Converta, Culture, and (mostly) Snappy:
Back home in the shelter, many hands made light work.
We'll dress up for Halloween next Sunday. No-one should feel at all awkward dressing up in Murrumba Downs either....Remember that we'll be moving to a 5 pm start time from this run onwards.
