Still drizzling

It was still drizzling when we woke up this morning. But we decided to walk to town anyway. It was that kind of drizzle where it was just enough to be annoying. Anyway, we walked up Four Mile Beach to Port Douglas town, and it took us about 40 minutes (including wading through 2 instant ponds) to get to the beach and 2 temporary estuararies.
Not many people in Port at the moment. We were in town last night (Friday night) and it was pretty quiet. Even the pub was only a quarter full. Its all a bit wet for the tourists I think.
Still, at least its warm.
Marlee seems to be coping ok (thanks in part to Rescue Remedy). But she is being left behind more than usual. She would have loved the walk this morning. Alas. We'll take her stitches out this weekend, and then she can jump in the pool. I've cut back her food even more, as she is doing minimal exercise. I think she's down to her ideal weight, at least she looks leaner than before. No more Fat Dog taunts!
Well it stopped raining for our walk back. But looks like "seasonal showers" for another 48 hours according to the forecasters. I don't mind. We can only relax more. A bit of sun wouldn't hurt though!
