    Isn't this a turnaround from 6 months ago. I had dust and you guys had more rain than you could handle. Funny how things change.

    Sydney is the dustiest i have seen it for a long time. Combination of the dust storm and the lack of rain have made work quite unpleasant to say the least.
    Another 30 degree day tomorrow followed by 3 days of showers. Im sure the 30 degree is right, lets hope they can get the showers correct.
    Congrats to all the people south who have had the rain, I know you have struggled recently

    Very dusty isnt it! I was choking with the cylinder mower after the dust last Wednesday. The mower throws it to the catcher in the front where the wind would just blow it in my face. Hopefully by tomorrow the dust has settled down. We need the rain badly. Everything looks so dry. Good for my irrigation work though.

    I cut a couple of lawns this arvo and ended up getting my dust mask out. I think there was more dirt on me than on the ground.
    Hope they get the forecast right for Fri and Sat, otherwise I will have some upset people as I am going to put out some dynamic lifter tomorrow.

    Just had the best rain in months, over 58mm last night and has been raining lightly all day here, ground is nice and soggy now, hopefuly we will get some good follow up rain later in the week. Better get mower out and start practising how to mow weekly

    Unbelievable - it is sleeting outside at the moment - in Wollongong in October!!!
    At least with the rain we are getting there will be green lawns instead of brown ones to mow.
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    If someone says "Can't" , take the "T" off the end and brew it.
    Sip on a mugfull, relax, and take a look at what you've got left to work with.
