    Yep and still more coming from the North-Northwest. Getting heavier as it moves through the Southeast too.

    Between Roma and Injune is getting some storm activity as well and there's talk of possible flooding out that way again.

    It's been a paperwork and phone-call day for me so far. Maybe change some blades and oils a little later or even get a bit of fertiliser and soil conditioner on the lawn here.
    We've had around 10mm since 9am but probably double that with the rain that fell throughout the night.

    Just read that today was the coldest Summer day for Toowoomba since records began. 13 degrees max with 40kph cold winds giving an apparent temperature of 8 degrees!

    What the hell's going on Mother Nature???

    Yeah it's crazy up here Paul.
    I still don't think our season is fully under way yet.We have had some rain over the last couple of weeks but not enough heat to get the soil temps up. It's growing but not like it should be.

    it used to be called global warming now they call it climate change
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Same here in the car this afternoon! Did anyone get any work done today? I shovelled and spread 2 cubic metres of mulch on Monday afternoon and that's it for the week so far for me.

    Missed the day yesterday. Was able to get a full day in on Tuesday in the drizzle.

    Supposed to be relining a rock pond/waterfall today. Could be messy.

    Arggh Bugga!! Just got the dreaded phone call to postpone the pond job. I'd only just got the ute loaded too.

    Oh well... onto plan B
