    When the weather clears up should only be a couple days mowing and you will be on top of things again!

    Wow that's a heap of rain.

    Some people are clueless! Wait for the rain to stop and that afternoon you will get a heap of clients calls saying "Just wondering when you're coming to cut the lawns? It has stopped raining now and I thought you would have been here by now"

    Yes because you are my only client and there aren't another 30 lawns also waiting....

    Annoying weather in Sydney for the past week and a bit. Not a huge amount of rain but it seems to shower sometimes heavy at least once a day and looks like its going to rain most of the day. Gloomy, ordinary weather with temps in the late teens to low 20's. Heavier rain expected from Wednesday which will be a pita if it happens.

    We still haven't had the rain you guys have at Brissy and the Coast. Just getting the edges of it out here - around 10 to 20mm per day but just constant drizzle and light showers and wind gusts to around 50kph. Still not getting anything done other than re-designing some advertising flyers and a bit of maintenance. There's going to be plenty of work to be had when the sun comes out!

    It just hasn't stopped here for close on 3 days now
    I was on the couch drinking coffee and playing the Xbox until the old boy rang up and said one of his retaining walls was starting to let go,so we've been out in the rain anchoring that back.

    Checked my rain gauge just before. It holds just over 150mm and it was at the brim, so obviously had more than that. I emptied it last Friday.
    No work this week me thinks!

    Well I'm home again. So frustrating! Got to the job, started getting the gear out and down it came again and is still going. So I went to Mitre10 and spent some money instead of earning it.
