    But you're in Melbourne, you'll probably need the sunscreen later today.
    Not much better here, lot of rain over night, bit more isolated today, but still rather wet. I really hate days like this, it's either 'i expected you here today' or ' didn't expect you to cut in the wet'. I'd rather it just bucket down to leave no doubt in my mind.

    Exactly how it is at times. Some expect you when its drizzles for the part of the day and after 30mm the day before. The next one says its too wet two days after the rain. Although having said that we know which customers get soggy and relative drier lawns after rain.

    Had a long term wealthy customer that I did extremely high and long hedges for that were on a narrow edge retainer wall and part of it needed access to trim from the roof. On two occasions it rained and I called to delay it. I was criticized for not coming on both occasions as they said there was no rain and the city I live in recorded 15mm. I live on the side of a hill too and could see the rain for the best of the day falling on there location. The following day I did a lawn three streets away from the hedge address and the customer I was mowing the lawn for commented on the rain the day before.

    Well today is like a blizzard outside with no snow, but snowing 64km away by road or 40km by direct route at Stanley Vic (near Beechworth), so it should be safe to stay at home.

    That forecast and current temperature translates to a Rosella Tomato Soup with Brockhoff Salada Biscuits kinda day and week consumed beside a cosy log fire.

    Lost our guinea pig, cage blew over, and a nice branch fell off the neighbours tree into our yard, thankfully not damaging anything, looked like the people over the road had a branch go threw their windscreen and if the roads aren't flooded, then there's branches and crap all over them. Glad I called it off early.

    I was hedging a large hedge this morning at 7am here in Bowral..... Stupid thing to do....
    It was -1 and a strong wind also.
    Hands aching from the frost bite and the bloody machine ( hedger) kept on cutting out due to not getting warmed up...
