Following 2cm of rain our house is now surrounded by a 4ft moat and we are unable to go anywhere! Deserts are clearly not designed for rain! I only have 2 weeks left here before heading to Melbourne for the weekend then on to Argentina. Luckily within the next two weeks we have a birthday celebration, Christmas (which we have moved until the 1st of December) and a leaving party so it shouldn’t be too much hard work. My rain/wind/cold dances have been working and we are now having one of the coldest springs in memory which means 40 degrees has become only a rare occurrence. The rain has brought the wildlife out and I found my first echidna yesterday and there are kangaroos everywhere....
