A little rain and and a Blogger problem

We had a little rain overnight and I am sure nobody is complaining. We heard thunder yesterday for the first time in many months and hopefully some areas received helpful downfalls in the storms that passed through. We had mainly light rain where we live but I am not sure if it was heavier on the other side of town which is often the case. Still a little rain is better than no rain as it is extremely dry in many parts of Queensland and some towns are almost out of water.

I seem to be having a problem with Blogger at the moment as when I upload photos and click on 'Add Selected' Blogger tells me the image can't be found and it looks like a 'broken image' on my PC but the photo shows up when I view my blog on my iPad. Has anyone else had the same problem? The last time I did a blog post I had no problem at all. When I look at my blog homepage now all the photos have been replaced with the same thing including those on other blogs I follow. I wonder if something has changed when I have done updates on this computer. Sigh! I really hate having to sort out technology issues. 

We have the tradies back once again as the indoor walls need to be painted after many, many years of 'I will get around to it one day' and once they are done in each room the floor coverings have to be put down before all the 'stuff' is moved back. My my, what a big job it is packing everything up to move it into another room so that work can be done. The painters were supposed to come back yesterday but I ran out of steam and didn't get the room finished in time so now I have another week to find some energy to get it done so they can start work.  It is a slow process as we have lived here for over forty years and in recent years one of the occupants (not mentioning any names) has become a hoarder. However, I hope it is all finished by Christmas and that will be the last time it will be done while I am still living here.

I can well and truly understand why couples downsize when they get older but it makes it difficult if one wants to do that and one doesn't. Even though we only have 1/2 acre it is a lot of work to keep everything under control if you don't use sprays like Roundup to kill the weeds and we don't use it. However I saw on Better Homes and Gardens that there is a spray called Slasher Organic Weedkiller so we bought some to try and it works well. I must say though that even the weeds haven't been looking too happy during this dry spell :-)

Anyway, I will leave it at that until I sort out this issue with the photos. I hope some of my readers who are really needing rain are getting some although it seems to be just in SE Queensland at the moment. Enjoy it while it lasts!
