    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

    Arh magnificent day in Melbourne, low 30's just enough sea breeze to cool things off brilliant. Use to love spending a day like this lying on the banks of a river under a nice shady tree with a nice cold one just watching the world go by.

    Went out with 7 jobs on the list today, came home with 6 put off till at least next week. I'm getting pretty sick of this. 20mm of rain would be good right about now. Went to 3 jobs I did 3 weeks ago....they looked like I'd been there on Monday.

    Know what you mean mate. Most of mine are brown dusty concrete with weedy lawns...thin 'n' crispy! Thankfully most of the clients I have now are understanding and get me to mow just to pick up the leaves if nothing else. Having said that, the night time temperatures are only just getting in the good for grass range this week, the humidity seems to be up and some lawns are greening up. Rain is predicted over the next few days. Hopefully we get something out of it.

    when we were having this trouble in melbourne i printed up slips (using ms publisher in business card format on bright yellow paper)which read along the lines of
    Business name
    gap for clients name if i wanted to
    I have written down to return in ______ weeks
    on the ______ if this is not suitable please ring
    me to arrange another time.
    Thank-you name and phone number

    I've still had some clients ring and want to argue that i shouldn't have mown their lawn as it didn't need it but they shut up quickly when i reminded them that i had left this slip so could only assume they wanted the lawn done as i hadn't heard from them

    Just had a pretty wild storm here. Heavy rain and wind for about 20 minutes with some small hail. Should spark a bit of work.
