Well that hasn't happened to me for a while. Just got home from a lunch engagement, and checked the washing on the line. ALL of it has brown streaks from the rain. The little rain we did get has clearly knocked some nasty stuff out of the air. Even the laundry basket had a puddle of brown water on the base. Currently re-washing everything that was on the line. Grrr. EDIT: just checked windy.com - Melbourne is currently in the gap between 2 big areas of rain. When the wind change comes, we is going to be drenched. Some nice little funderstorms building to the west.
