    An annoying 1.8mm spread over the whole day was all here today.

    Had a very welcome 30mm here in a pretty wild storm last night. Hopefully it's enough to start the grass growing.

    72mm here in Canberra, that's over 10% of our yearly average

    About 75mm overnight. A bit more than I hoped for but heaps better than last spring and summer when we had virtually nothing until February. A bit of sunshine should kick things along nicely.

    That's it!

    Got a few ride on jobs to do, and after using the small ZTR on a job yesterday, I think the big one will make a mess of any lawns needing doing.
    Will wait until after lunch and maybe try the small ZTR on some big lawns!

    BoM is predicting a 60% chance of a wetter than average spring........I guess we're in the 40%....lol. Had 12mm last week, didn't even lie around, just disappeared into the ground without a trace.

    You can all have some of ours at the moment, the BOM have got it all wrong, nice sunny days the days when I am home with the kids for school holidays, than days like today when I can work we have had 15mm already. They need to plan things better. Dont get me wrong love the rain, will make it a good season, just get those guys at the BOM, to schedule like we have to

    massive winds today; had a 8' standard crab-apple snap off at ground level while working nearby -real shame, it was over 20 years old, a real beauty
