    I'll be lucky to do 6 next week!

    Frosts have smashed many lawns and its super dry again now too.
    Hope to get a few showers early next week.

    A few weeks ago, when it first started getting cold I said to the miss's, lets go to Bali (to escape the cold!) She got pretty excited at the thought but then I sobered up, and had to shut that idea down pretty quickly!
    Theres only so much you can do with cheese on toast I find!

    Minus 5.4 deg this morning. Was going to mow a school this morning but not looking forward to changing blades with frozen hands.

    Might go and swing a blocksplitter and deliver a load or 2 of firewood instead.

    Driest winter in as long as I can remember, and the coldest with heaps of frost. Mowed a lawn yesterday for client (casual) who is away - could have left it cause after 3 weeks it simply hadn't grown but they are back soon and like to keep it neat. Hopefully rain before spring because will be a hell of a summer otherwise. Watched my old man sweat over the weather (dairyfarmer) and swore I would never let the weather rule me, look at me these days, mowing lawns and living on an acreage so obviously didn't follow my own advice..

    Last winter was just as dry around here but not so cold. This year it's dry, freezing (literally) and plenty of frost. If we don't get any good rain by late winter/early spring I might be just about finished. Had a couple of weeks now where I've made less than $100 for the week.

    Finally had a few drops in Sydney, 2mm all up this week. Woo hoo. Chance of another 1mm tomorrow.
    Better than nothing I guess. Can't believe how dry things are looking and its still winter.
