    After the ground just having dried up from rain last night it's just started pouring here. Had to spend the day at home today anyway with one of my young blokes crook with tonsilitis so today was a write-off anyway.

    With extra work to catch up tomorrow this is not the best thing. I reckon we've had half an inch already here in the last half hour.

    20mm here last night Paul. Still drizzling rain now.

    Have a full day's gardening today on a rural property but will recheck at 8am.

    I've been very lucky with the weather so far this year. Haven't missed any jobs but got wet a few times finishing off in the rain.

    Yeah i'm hearing the same although they reckon not as strong as last years. Been a good start to the wet season up here. Massive storm last night. 58mm in the bucket. Bloody hell it's a hot build up though. Sweatin ya butt of by 9am. Don't matter me if it rains during the day as your wet through anyways. Most lawns i do don't get too boggy unless it's a cats and dogs downpour. Then i call it beer o'clock.

    I had a some light rain all week in the Parramatta/Holroyd areas. Got a bit wet a few times but I did all the jobs I had scheduled which suprised me. Glad I pressure cleaned my catchers last weekend. The hondas caught awesomly in the wet all week. Go HONDA!
