    Wasn't 10 mm at my place it belted down like a FNQ wet season storm and it blew a gale. I could see it coming rolling in really low and black. Not sure how much we had but it half filled an esky I had just cleaned out and was sitting on the pavers. Had that much so quick the gutters couldn't handle it plus it came in from the west which is the worst direction for my place. Yes I got a truck in but we had to run it out the back in barrows but we had it all off in 45 mins. Not bad for 3 blokes. Had the young bloke screeding and another mate spreading it out for him so it all went pretty well. I was worried the rain may have har,med it but pulled the covers off this moring and all is good. Got to pour another section next week if we can get the steel fixing done in time.
    Cheers

    Two days of mid-30s temps here and I'm sick of it already!

    Looking forward to the forecast cool change and some rain later in the week.

    It fined up here today and I got a fair bit done. Still a bit of rain lurking about but not much. That storm we had dumped 21mm on us so the grass has gone beserk again. Just got home and mowed my own lawns and put the wood oven on. The missus grabbed a couple of big kick arse turkey drumsticks so they are cooking away as I type this. The slab is harding up a treat. Got to try get some time to do the next bit. It is paved but I am pulling them up. Sold them to the next door neighbour so he is going to come and remove them then we have to lay the reo for that and a path I want done as well. Can't see us getting it done in the next couple of days so will hit it Saturday. Then I have to learn how to build a pergola. Luckily the other neighbour is cluey with that. I get a break from painball and the missus puts me to work. Can't win.
    Cheers

    Yeah I didn't get much sympathy from friends at Richmond either. They have had 42+ the last 2 days.

    I lived up there & thereabouts for over 25 years. but after just 2 years down here, 38 is a scorcher. Must be getting old.

    Constant drizzle here. Only about 10mm since yesterday morning. Heavy stuff hasn't come this way yet but sounds like anything could happen in next 24 hours. Rain and storms also forecast for the next 5 days.

    Interesting times ahead trying to get jobs caught up.
