What is rain :?: we are still experiencing temperatures over 30, and have now gone 47 days without any rain. We have broken our record for sunshine hours it was 8.2 per day it is now 11.3. So we in the west are breaking all the wrong records so if you can send some of your rain we would appreciate it muchly.

A very dry Pup :beer: :beer: :beer: well rain wise :palm:

Our 20 mm overnight was just comfy then, but Wednesday predicted to be the wettest one this week. Clearing in time for plant sales Sunday, yippee!

Hope it clears for you soon Dean. Too much rain can be a devil of a thing.

Just a few light showers here today, just enough to water my trees for the day.

Tell me about it Ash!!! Although I feel really sorry for those to the North of me, I am still over this Wet Season. I moved into a new house last week and haven't been able to do a thing in the back yard since, or should that have been back lake :cry: . All I have done is removed silt from the drainage ditch I had to dig to try and move some of the water.

Feeling sorry for you as well Pup, been watching the WA figures and hoping for a small amount of rain to fall your way. Great country we all live in hey?
