Winter Rains hit town!

[Michael Alexander]

Lekker! Awesome, Kief, incredible..... always nice when the rain comes to town.....some of us even enjoy the cold weather that comes with it...

The rain poured down on Friday evening and again during Saturday morning, delivering unto us a healthy 11.3 mm(private garden, the official airport site has yet to be updated) .... not too shabby....  the whole town is scattered with puddles, the tree's have been washed and even the dying trees along the now abandoned practice range appear to be getting a 2nd wind.....

Observed this afternoon about 13:30  the liesbeek river starting to overflow its banks .. rain  rain  rain ,,,

Hope all this rain helps the Clanwilliam Dam that was about 4 % not so long ago

[Michael Alexander]

Talking of the Clanwilliam Dam, I see plans are afoot to raise it by 6m.... think I mentioned that before.... mmmh!

[Alfred Boehme]

Yes that is true and the road will be moved to behind the mountain you will no longer see the dam from the road

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

I heard it was to be raised by 16 Meters but even by 6 meters is some height. I don't think they will ever fill it, even now it is hardly full.............

I know why Mike Voden left in a hurry for O Mund -probably expecting hot east wind ??
Picture 1 is one of Mike leaving in a hurry for safer pastures  , and in Pic 2 one can see what Mike's neighbours looks like today

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

And I thought that I could always rely on you Hennie   

[Michael Alexander]

Me thinks the boer war is still fresh in Oom Hennie's Mind.....

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

Now, now Mike A don't be nasty

We are also experiencing a lot of rain here in sunny Queensland........................

Mike A .. The boer war was small fry compared to what me and friend  Mike V have to face. So it's forward March for us .. Up the Khyber . & Thank you  Adriaan for being willing to sympathise with the two of them ,quote: [ oi ....are you two Mikes coping or shall i lend a ear ]

[Mike Voden (RIP)]

Good words Hennie, good words. It's not the Boer War that I face, it's a weak and feeble attack from the old enemy up north, namely the Scot................

[toonfandangl]

Two days of rain here 60mm and a drop in temp it's winter again............
