    I missed yesterday and was hoping for a few hours fine weather before the rain got here today so booked in removal of 4 palms.

    But it's drizzling already. Ohh well... off to face the music

    Finally having some decent weather in Sydney! Hopefully it hangs around for a little while longer and I might get some work.

    I have a google Adwords campaign going and it hasn't even had a single click in 6 days now. In December and January I was getting 4-5 clicks per day minimum and up to 12. Only had 8 in the past 3 weeks which tells me people aren't even looking for an irrigation company.

    another day of rain, another day with no pay, then the catch up next week, where the grass is still wet, all llush and heavy going, hevy to lift, and where no one wants to pay extra and all expect it done by monday, on top of all the ones booked in next week

    oh the joy of being a mowing contractor

    Do you follow him on Facebook Mick?

    There's also South Queensland Storms and Weather GC who are useful to follow as well. Higgins is better for the forecasts though.

    too hot today total fire ban in Melbourne....our rules say we are allowed to operate machinery on these days as long as the engines have spark arrestors fitted and we carry a 9 litre knap sack sprayer of water . If the paddocks (acreage mowing ) are dry its best to stay away hate to start something ..on the farm its the rule ..no operation of machines on a fire ban day not worth the risk...
