Whoarr!  It's such a wild and stormy day here in Perth today!
We had buckets of rain overnight, and now it's blowing a gale.  Sienna and I got caught in a shower this morning, and had to shelter under a tree for what felt like aaaaages and I was cursing myself for not bringing either my raincoat or my phone to call someone to come and rescue us!  But it blew over after a while and by the time we'd reached my "photo spot" my hair had received a nice blow-dry courtesy of Mother Nature.  Well, that is just about the only type of drying it ever gets apart from in the salon, of course.  Only my hairdresser knows how to tame the savage beast  :)
Anyhow I was pretty pleased with our timing, because just as we walked back through the door the rain came down again!
The rest of my day involves super-exciting office work, but I may get time to nip out to the fabric store later on this arvo.  I'm sure hoping so, since I've now decided I absolutely need lining to finish off my latest project.  Later tonight I am meeting up with velosewer for drinkies and dinner; sooooo looking forward to lots of sewing goss!

min 14C, max 20C,  wind and rain, sun and clouds... everything!
