The Big Wet

Friday 18th February, 2011

Woke up this morning to drizzly rain and during the day it became more persistant only letting up around 9.00pm tonight.  They say Adelaide got around 30mm not the deluge that they were predicitng.  It's still one of our wettest February days for 8 years.

Tony rang to let me know that we wouldn't be getting the car back today.....Monday it is, fingers crossed.  Oh well it looks like public transport for us this weekend.

Caught the bus into town and Kahra dropped Katie off at Tony's work.  We went and had some dinner and as it is officially the start of the Fringe tonight we thought we would go down to the East End and watch the parade that kicks it off. 


Every two years we have a Festival of Arts and the Fringe was held in conjunction with that.  Due to the growing popularity of the Fringe it was decided to hold it annually.  Last year was the first year that we actually got involved and went and saw some shows and took Katie to a few as well.  This year we hope to go and see some more.

Unfortunately due to the persistant rain the parade was cancelled.  The Garden of Unearthly Delights was open, but we decided to come back Sunday as it was too damp.  Katie was excited to see the He11o car (the new Channel 10 digital station) and was given a couple of bottles of water and a lollipop.  Maybe it was because Bart Simpson was on it.


We slowly walked backed to work, collected our bags and went and caught the bus back home.  Tomorrow is another day of buses and maybe the tram as we plan on going to the Monster Trucks at the Showgrounds.
