    No good Paul hopefully p plater was ok

    I'm so over this rain with 3 kids at home its just to hard to keep on entertaining them after school and on the weekend hopefully we get to see that yellow thing in the sky for a couple of weeks.

    Work i dont even want to think about it i tried to mow some though the week but the lawns are to sloppy under feet and leaves mud lines in some spots.

    It's dry enough here in the lead up to Easter to be able to make everyone happy with their lawns and gardens, and enjoy the company of their friends and family during this happy time of year.

    During Easter, well, that's another story.

    About 20mm here in my part of town last night. I've had a pretty torrid couple of months trying to fit in study at TAFE, working at the nursery, family stuff and my clients. Got about 6 days of work to try and cram into three this week. Really hoping for no more rain or equipment breakages.

    Got all my jobs done today. Mowing wasn't an issue. Was able to mulch everything beautifully with the honda. The ground is still nice and firm. Was just annoying rain that looked worse than it was. Got me nice and wet and dirty though.

    Do you mow weekly Jason? I haven't got a hope in hell of mulch-mowing anything here until probably June.

    I have a few weeklys. But most of my jobs yesterday were fortnightlies. Only 1 was weekly. Got all my weeklies today thankfully.

    It has been so wet here over past month. The ground just can not dry out sufficiently to get a machine on many of my properties I MOW. Work stacking up but with hillside properties, the 1.2 ton of Kubota can get away on you. Unfortuneately, some clients think we mow with helicopters. The waiting till ground drys to a safe stage to mow is becoming tiresome. Ho hum - such is life.
