Today it was supposed to rain heavily here in Sydney. The forecast said up to 50 mm of rain. Which would have been welcome as we need the rain. However it turned out to be nothing more than an intermittent sprinkle all day, and as I type this now the official rainfall figure recorded for Sydney so far today is only 2.2 mm – less than 1/20th of the forecast. That’s kind of been the story for the past few days – forecast of heavy rain, and while we’ve had some heavy showers, the totals have been nowhere near the forecast figures.
Today I worked on Darths & Droids, assembling a couple of comics from completed scripts, and doing some background planning tasks.
And then this evening I had a nice dinner out with my wife, at one of our favourite fancy restaurants. We dropped Scully off with our neighbour for dogsitting, and drove about 20 minutes to Balmoral Beach. We had a lovely dinner, and the walk back to the car along the beach after dinner was beautiful.

Still, even a sprinkling presumably means lower temperatures and less-flammable vegetation, right? We’re going to get several inches here on Long Island today.
Of snow. Probably only a cm or so of precipitation.
Actually the rain has been heavier in the countryside, where it’s needed more for the fires, so that’s good at least.
