    of course it's climate change. Earth's climate has been in a constant stae of change for 4.5 billion years! What's new?

    You do come very accustomed to it, It just feels like a normal day but you just drink a bit more water than usual.

    Customers say "Oh you must be so hot, I just don't know how you do it" when they hand me a ice cold class of water.

    Sunny or Raining, Either way working in the humidity you stay wringing wet all day. I normally start work at 8am and work till noon, Then have a mellow 2 hrs lunch on the hotter days and back in to it at 2pm for another few hours. My daily water intake lately has been about 4L of water and 1 1/2 to 2L of Staminade.

    Torrential rain and thunderstorms in Melbourne as i type this and with the very humid conditions growth rates down here will explode again which is nice after 10 or so years of dry.

    I gotta say i dont mind the humid conditions good for my tired old joints and the beers go down soooo easy.

    Yeah, was hoping the lawns would be slowing down about now. My other job is ready to explode too Many booked and a shipload waiting to be confirmed-some of those being big jobs. Any new work that is not likely to be reg mowing, I have and will continue to pass it off.
    You guys who get the work know who you are but I will probably send them to 2or 3 of you and let you guys work it out.

    again we in melbourne may have heaps of work with this rain ( we have had 110 mm so far in 4 hours ) but the boys and girls up north would say its a sprinkle to them lol....
    trouble is the grass is growing so thick the money per minute is ever decreasing.....maybe heaps to do but a hell of lot more time to perform the task....nice to have so muck work though but i cant wait for autumn lol
