    Wont be long and we will be asking you to send some our way. Most resi jobs i have are getting very dry and cracks opening up in the ground. Not sure about other areas in melbourne? Cranbourne is a strange place it either rains all day while everywhere else is dry or it rains everywhere around cranbourne. Enough of my complaints.
    Like I said it is good to here your finally getting some rain, nothing scarier for someone in this industry than a drought.
    Agree on all counts. I'm on the other side of the bay to you in Leopold and I am often watching the rain soak half of Melbourne and not a drop falling here, very frustrating. It is really drying up here too, only 16mm of rain since September all in 1mm showers.

    Yes GCM i think i'm in the same boat as you. I'm in Williamstown (inner west melbourne) and very dry. I normally watch the rain coming up from Geelong, only to see it split to the northern and sth/eastern suburbs; something to do with the You Yangs rain shadow. No sign of any showers for at least the next week. Great for the northerners though!

    Yep.

    Was woken this morning at 4:45am with a clap of thunder above our house, then heavy rain. Great sound on the roof.

    Looks like I could be on the afternoon shift! With today raining and more likely on Friday it looks like working the weekend again.

    What !! Don't you normally work weekends? Getting slack John.

    Lovely weather, even better, I only booked in 3 jobs for today.

    My car has been due for a service but have been to busy to take it in. Wish I'd known the weather would be like this today.
