Weather = rain

You could send the photo to the editors of "Mad Car Disease" - I don't know if they're planning a third volume. The first two had pics of abandoned cars in all sorts of situations and conditions. I saw one in a photography magazine, with the rambler Dorothy Perkins growing through it. In Tasmania.

You guys are ahilarious Hi everyone.! We had 100mls of rain too, as we are not far from David and Carol. What a unusual long wet spell. The tank is nearly full which is really good to have finally.
David and Carol, my ride on law mower is going like a champion now and I am getting the place mowed up real nice as its going and cutting bettter than it ever has. It turned out that a neighbour friend's husband use to own a lawn mower bussiness many years ago and he had it fixed the very next day after he took it. He didn't need to buy any parts in, made his own etc. and he used the tyre off my other old ride on that doesn't work at the moment, which I gave to him as part payment.

That is great news re the mower Karen. You will know where to go first next time eh
Bye the way we are expecting more rain today and if we get the 20 to 40 mls they say that will fill you tank right up.

Have some good rain the last couple of days?

Yes it has been good, got out to have a good look at the roses this afternoon, some are showing some good growth, I think my 1902 peace may even be having a growth spurt! I am still a bit doubtful about whether it will survive though.
Did you get much rain?

We probably recieved about 60mm over the three days

About to cop some here too. As if the BS hadn't been bad enough this year.
(It's certainly a good year to pick out the clean roses!)

Raining again, Cricket is off for the day, don't think it will stop for awhile

Yeah raining hard at our place. Probaly another half an hour or so going by the radar.

Hopefully we are sending it your way, at present we do not want any

Just stopped here but give it another hour and more is on the way, looking at the radar

The next installment is coming Gary.We can thank Rosalie, which inturn passed it onto Margaret, and Margaret onto Wendy, Wendy sent it with regards to me, so I thought I would share it with you.

Yep its been here. According to our trusty rain gauge we have had 165 mm since last Sunday. We recieved 36mm in a rain storm this arvo.
I would be too upset if some of you "westerners" would keep just a little bit of it for yourselves.

What do you mean, it came to me? I got a total of 5.5ml! But better than a slap in the belly with a wet fish.
Lots of powdery mildew around.

LOL @ the carp smack

Getting lots of rain here in Brissy, as long as we don't have a repeat of floods or we will get smacked with a wet fish.. or two

Hoping Gary and others on the Sunshine Coast are OK. And people in the karri forest.

Margaret
The storm today missed us. The thunderstorms that come through our way mostly split into two on the hils behind us with one bit heading over to Caloundra and the other over Palmwoods/Nambour. Very rarely do we actually get hit by a bad storm.

Tamara did the storm hit you?

We had some rain and thunder nothing serious, haven't been on so just read the post

More rain today. That puts a end to mowing and working in the garden today. Yesterday I started finding my new tea garden hidden amongst the longest grass.
My new roses have grown really well, so I sure can't complain.

here is the weather we are to get today,

Hi got stuck in Gympie with the flooding last night with the Bruce Highway being cut at 4pm. Got home today by going inland up through the range, it was really strange it hadn't rained since sat morning but there was so much water everywhere that we were unable to get out til lunchtime

Oh dear you poor girl. Did you have to stay in a motel?
It is lovely to read that you are now home safe and sound.

400mm in a few hours in the headwaters of the Mary River will do it everytime.

We missed the bulk of the rain but we still got enough.

WOW

That's what you call rain Gary.
