Oh I can feel them. Can't justify a dryer here at all, esp with so many comparatively dry days in the Wet.
Where did you get the rats? Are they saliva or nostril tests?

Today started with a clear sky and came over cloudy but dry. We've had the odd scattered sprinkle, and one bluster. I did have to bring my washing in, there was sprinkle blowing onto the deck, ultra-light but enough to damp things. It was sprinkling 45minutes ago, and I had to use my wipers to clear the windscreen, for about 2 minutes. So that's Chillagoe's weather description for the day. LOL.
