    I have to say this is one of the coolest springs/start of summer I've experienced in Qld. The calls for lawn mowing are pretty slow(but there's a lawnie on every corner here on the Goldy)Gardening and garden make over calls are going much better though.

    After getting completely drenched on the first job I left my work shirt hanging on the trailer while I got started on the next job 2 doors up. It was dry in an hour. got to my last job for the day and managed 5 mins before the storm hit. Bugger I would have kept going but that lightning was a bit too close.

    Better batten down the hatches me Vic maties. We just got caned by some big storms here. Roofs off, trees down and bucket loads of rain and hail. Spot flooding everywhere. I was driving through 3 foot of water to get home in it. The storm water system couldn't handle it and roads were rivers. I saw a manhole spewing water 4 foot into the air. The radar is blanked out and more coming through. If I didn't know better I would say I was back in far north Qld. Cairns weather

    How humid is it in Sydney???? I can't remember it being this bad for a long time. I left at 6 this morning and the thermometer was on 26-28 all the way to the job. Jumped out of the ute and had started sweating before I even reached the driveway of the house. My shirt was soaked after about 10 minutes work.

    Nice! I have been drinking heaps of water/sports drinks otherwise I will cramp up. I've lost about 5 kilos over Spring but the days sitting on my ass and eating while its raining are killing me.

    Geoff the weather bureau says shower or 2 monday and tuesday then fine for the rest of the week with temp in the mid 20's
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
