    Totally rained out here too today and doesn't look like stopping in SEQ for a few days. Is it weird to get rain-induced depression so quickly; I mean there's only so much paperwork you can do in a day at home.

Quite a few of my lawns are going weekly now. Some were growing more than a foot in a fortnight. Quite a turn around from last month.
    Did you cop any of that hail this afternoon. We had plenty of thunder but only a few spits of rain. WEEKLY MOWING , WHATS THAT. We have only ever had one request for weekly mowing and that was two years ago. A lot of people around our area have really tightened the purse strings. Less customers on the books this summer.

    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

    Not sure what we got. We were just gettin the kids out of the car to go shopping when the rain hit. Heard some pretty heavy rain for a few minutes while we were shopping but not sure if we got hail. The sun was out and the grass had grown another inch by the time we got home. A few of my lawns are almost knee hight after 2 weeks at the moment and they actually requested the weekly mow. Times like this I am glad I don't have too many clients.

    Hardly had any rain here, had a quick downpour an hour ago, that big storm earlier was out west apparantly. I was watching it on the radar while it got dark overhead heard lots of thunder working at baulkham hills.
    I have 2 clients that are weekly mows at the moment.

    I've 10-20mm overnight for the last 5 nights here. Got caught in a heavy downpour on the rideon this afternoon......I had about 10 mins to go and I could see it scudding across the paddocks.....drove the mower into the client's shed, waited it out then finished off the soggy grass. Got a few I can't get near because of boggy ground.

    Hot and BLOODY humid today. The temperature itself didn't get too high. But jeez it felt hot mowing foot high grass all morning.
