If anyone needs us over here in the far corner of Western Australia, we'll be prepping our boats and sandbags...
Just kidding, it's fine so far – more steady rain than torrential downpour, and nothing like destructive winds and flooding the poor folk further north have had to endure.
It is *quite* wet though. I have a you-didn't-sleep-long-enough headache so I'm hoping to schedule a nap later, and we have power so there is plenty of tea. The chimney is leaking just a little bit and the gutters are reminding us that they need replacing. Hopefully all this water will make it to the dams and tanks after a very dry summer

This looks like a book I would enjoy, and some of you might too (review by my excellent friend Rachel)

EDIT: Wow, thank you all for the many amazing and helpful suggestions! These are great, thank you! We do have almond meal, buckwheat and rice flours (we've got gluten intolerants/coeliacs in our household too) so we'll be able to try some of these recipes and ideas out over the next week or so. I'll update with the results :)
Kid2 is making a cake for her gluten-free friend and the friend has requested carrot cake. So far we've had two test cakes (it's for a special occasion so Kid2 wants it to be very good) and neither has been amazing. Edible? Yes. But not special occasion-worthy.
Does anyone have a failsafe gluten free carrot cake recipe? Boosts very much appreciated
