What the??


After a delightful lunch at Two Birds with Dana and Liz, I was dropping Lizzy back to work when we were stopped by a train! A normal circumstance for some but after 2 years without such situations it was a photo worthy moment. In hindsight though, I remember when we were in Canada counting the carriages attached to the engine and got well over 200 one time... this was only a wee one at about 15.

On another note, it's been raining here for the past 4 days (thank God) and walking in town the past few days I've been struck by something lacking... Umbrellas! Where in Hong Kong people would pull out umbrellas for the gentlest sprinkle, I haven't seen one yet! We're a tough mob here in Toowoomba :)

not really tough - just enjoying something most people take for granted but in the middle of one of the worst droughts in history, walking in the rain is a joy, a treat, a promise of dams at 12% capacity being filled and bringing a sense of richness in the abundance of nature washed clean from months of dust and grime.
