Drought breaker

Typical of my luck. One wish I had before returning to Brisbane was a massive dose of South-East Queensland's famous weather - clear, warm and bathed in sunshine.

Considering Queensland has been gripped by drought for a few years now, I thought this was pretty safe bet.

But no. It has been pissing down since I arrived. No beach. No sunshine. Absolute pants!

Good one weather! Everyone is rapt with the sudden soaking of Brisbane, except for Linda and myself. We thought our escape trip to the wonderful tropical oasis that is Magnetic Island would be respite from the rain and we'd be able to get our yearly UV dose. However, it does appear the rain will chase us up to Townsville.

At least I hope it is a fine day for my sister's wedding next Sunday.

My rainy day listening includes songs from...

• "Breakfast At Fatboys" album by Butterfingers
• "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" album by Arctic Monkeys
• "St. Elsewhere" album by Gnarls Barkley
• "Under The Iron Sea" album by Keane
• "The Eraser" album by Thom Yorke
