We have had rain, 17 mm overnight and showers on and off today, but the bad news is that my lower back has seized up and instead of jumping in puddles I am feeling sore and sorry for myself. Painkillers are not working.The first photo is of my new purchase, a Bernina 1006, a very basic machine, and heavy but it only cost $300 and runs like a dream with a 6 month warranty. I had to buy a darning foot but never mind, I can now do free motion embroidery with the best of them, I hope!!
The second photo is of yesterday mornings sky, I missed the really dark pink bit but this was the start of the rain.
Tomorrow is ANZAC day, a very important day in the Australian calendar, quite often the traditional start to our autumn/winter rains. John will go in to the dawn service to remember all those who fell in all the wars our fellow Australians fought in. He has to lay a wreath as our local MP cant be in about three places at once.
I always say I will go with him but if its cold and wet I am not very inclined to go.
We had a power blackout in the middle of the night, our pressure pump burnt out due to the dirt and dust and then the rain on it, so a new pressure pump is being installed.
I do hope my back is better tomorrow, I am trying to both tidy up and finish off 9 postcards I have to sent by the end of the month, they are nearly finished.

Thank you for the kind comment, I hope by now your back is feeling better and you and your new Bernina can whip through those postcards in no time.
Any rain makes us grateful but I am sorry about the back. I do hope it starts getting better soon.

Poor you with your aching back. I hope that you start to feel better soon. I love my hot water bottle for those days that mine is bothering me, sometimes though the cold works better than the hot.
I love the new machine, I'm sure you'll get many hours of enjoyment out of it.
