LILAC IN THE RAIN

Strange weather today. Started off rainy, then it was sunny and then back to rain. In one of the sunny intervals I went out into the garden for blip inspiration and it started hailstoning - lasted a good few mins. So blip was postponed. After the hailstones it has rained constantly so I just stood at the back door and took this shot of my white lilac bush in the rain.

No Cookie for a few days - I assume his owners have left him locked indoors during this wet weather.

**** Neil update - yesterday he went to some caves in Waitomo to see glow worms. And then he was in Rotorua where he did some luging - basically hurtling down a hill in a cart. Today he was going to go Taupo skydiving from 15,000 feet over a super-volcano. Guess he's having fun in New Zealand.
