Rainbows and thunder

There was a huge full arc rainbow this afternoon! One end of it was doubled. Makes up for the huge storm and thunder that shook the roof of the house and made me turn everything off for the duration.

The problem with this time of year is that the grass never dries. It's just not hot enough. It is a very green world right now.

Don't you love this area? We cleaned out a kitchen cupboard and found redbacks in a box at the back. Watch out for those dark corners. The good news is that after years of thinking redbacks kill people I found out a while back that it's highly unlikely that would happen. The main problem with the bloody things is the extreme pain and how it doesn't go away. It's debilitating and persistent and it's hard to function which is why they have an anti-venom.
