    Yeah but it is the typical weather we used to get before/during spring - was about 20c or so the last day or 2. So its not far from happening again

    Had a job to compete in Warragul, Vic this morning:

    Con = started blowing a gale and was absolutely freezing, new job and had to be done!
    Pro = didn't have to work my blower too hard as most of it blew away before then - job looked fantastic and tenant/agent very happy.

    they say el nino is comming and another drought for Melbourne ( wouldnt believe it with all this rain ) my business always goes up a level during these times and certainly sorts out the pack thats for sure....although one would say there will plenty of grass in spring but dont be surprised if it stops early..seen it before

    Rain glorious rain! Small storm - just enough to settle the dust but nice nonetheless.

    Yep. Looking at some forecasts earlier. Another 16 days at least for SEQ and NNSW. Not growing much yet. Still haven't gone back to fortnightly yet except for one customer. Most still at 4 weeks. Thank God for a few pruning and hedging jobs coming in still. Bank account's empty but a few good invoices coming in soon.

    It's amazing how fast we can go from one extreme to the other with the weather.
