    got drenched mowing this morning, I could count on one hand the times I've mowed in the rain the last few years, I hate it & normally rufuse to do it - couldn't stop on this one unfortunately.
    Surfs up! there's a reef across the road that rarely breaks, the beach faces due north & is partly protected- really needs to be 8-10' to be worthwhile - here's a bit of vid I shot after lunch, its just starting to crank...should be good later on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBx517MYVRY

    Took some vid the other day myself. Any surfers out there might be interested. Best to watch on highest setting full screen.

    I ended up with 140mm of rain yesterday & Sunday arvo. The heavier rain seems to be gone, but looks like light stuff is going to hang around here for a few more days at least.

    Got up this morning and there was this strange stuff coming from the sky. Rumour has it that its called rain, can anyone confirm, its that long since we have had any.

    another 2.8mm and we will have doubled our rainfall for the year (25.4mm)and it looks like it will rain most of the day
    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

    We had almost 100mm from 9am yesterday until about 7pm last night. Kept raining all night and then on and off today so far. Would gladly swap for 14 days of dry weather right now. Really hope you guys that need it most, get some soon.

    I'm actually heading out today to buy a clothes dryer (which is not the best thing to be doing when the electricity price is set to rise by up to 23% soon).

    Better this time! Still getting a few drips through the ceiling in another spot and a bit of seepage again downstairs where it's now supposed to be waterproofed but on the whole, no panic like last time!

    Over 250mm of rain in last 3 days. Dams and water tanks overflowing (very grateful) but ground so soggy. Too wet to even get the machines out of the shed and customers wanting mowing done as grass growing before their eyes.

    105mm over the weekend, and it looks like we're going to cop it again tonight. Like PaulG (sorry you southerners) I could do with a couple of weeks fine weather....(we're worse than farmers....lol)
