    woke up this morning of rain hitting the roof. It might be good enough to give us Brisbanites a kick along.

    Gawd what little we're getting we can't spare, otherwise we'd happily share.

    I spent the weekend in our own garden - pulling out everything that died during the summer. Half my lawn died off and has sadly been replaced with bare soil and healthy weeds. Looks like it's the backhoe and start again for me to sink my teeth into when I'm home with the kids during the school holidays. So much for painting the inside of the house (awww - pity - I hate painting).

    Too many jobs around the house, not enough time...story of my life

    What grass, I am only mowing clients that actually water their lawns. So I am taking a week off over Xmas and few days over New Year too. Even with the forecast rain here on Xmas day it will need to be 30mm to make any difference otherwise I will be doing a irrigation install and a few more hedges that I have booked in.
