The waiting till ground drys to a safe stage to mow is becoming tiresome. Ho hum - such is life.
    Been there a few times this season, same happening now. Had a look at a couple yesterday and no chance of mowing. Been a very frustrating season thats for sure!

    Wet in Cairns today with more to come and I have the next two days out of the taxi. Have 2 mows to do tomorrow with about 4 hrs of weeding, plus a quote late afternoon on small retaining wall and pruning/mulching. Another mow on Friday with another 3 hrs gardening as well. Either wet from sweat or rain and the rain is cooler. Using a HRU 195 so the wet grass/ground is a non issue. Can't afford to get behind with my work schedule so have to suck it up and go for it regardless. I just think of the free workout each job - don't want to look like the typical cabbie.

    Getting our first taste of winter here already. 6-8 degree minimums for a few days before warming up a bit again next week. Regular mow intervals have all stretched out by a week so far.
    Goodbye mowing... hello firewood.

    Suthern highlands N.S.W.: Raining cats & dogs all night and still. Ground is soaked and muddy. Will take a few days of sun to dry this up.

    Sitting by the wood heater, Monday morning after a big weekend, looking out at a thick fog @ 8am with 10-20mm rain forecast for later today... It's really not safe to go out.. Right??

    I couldn't agree more. Down to 8degs here this morning but no icy wind yet thankfully.

    Ed, must be getting very cool up there some mornings now?
