    Don't know about tomorrow either Bob? At the moment I'm not sure if much at all will get done this week? Fair bit of rain in Berwick today, I was up there today. Only got 2 lawns done and pulled the pin on a gardening job. Didn't really feel like spending about 3 hrs cutting back flaxes in that sort of weather.

    took than grand kids for lunch in berwick as was amazed at the council contractors mowing green slop all over the place ..as we were driving back saw two more companies mowing the road verges and parks,several jims didnt seem to worry about the rain....Agree with you Bob it can wait..grass doesnt grow too fast down here at the moment..

    Fine here this morning but I was unwell. Felt up to going out this afternoon - started raining. Typical.

    I did an hour this morning before the rain hit, gave up 10ish and stayed at home. only trouble is I am already way behind as having to take a friend to heaps of appointments. But that the good thing of working for yourself

    i stuck it out with the rain today as I only had gardening jobs to do. No lawns so no worry about getting bogged down or muddy. Don't know about my chances of getting back out again tomorrow though...

    Worked until noon, then it got the better of me. Actually enjoyed having a couple of hours off, then went out quoting. Relaxing afternoon really.

    If it rains anywhere it rains in Berwick Geoff, but the good news is that its also the case in summer.
