    Uuum, I haven't been. Lawns jobs are still about 6 weeks apart here, some 8+. Thankfully I have a few hedges and other gardening jobs popping up. I'm only just keeping up with my home loan payments while my partner is paying for everything else. She goes on maternity leave soon at reduced pay so I don't know what we're going to do then.

    Nearly forgot the photos. Was getting a bit late, so had to lighten them up from the RAW files. As you can see, we use a bit of water on our lawn.Dry 2.jpgDry 1.jpg

    Whoa !!!!! Reduced the image size a wee bit too much, but you get the idea. Most people don't realise how dry it can get here in the "Dry Season", but this year is especially bad.

    Weird day in in SA. I was up at paintball at Tarlee. Lots of thunder heads but up but no rain. Got really hot in the arvo with clear skies. Could see a lot of activity down towards Adelaide way. Get back to Adelaide and missus says its been raining with thunder and lightning all day.
