You can probs blame it all on my lengthy family bringing in all the rain from Scotland :D:unsure:

The amount of rain that fell in brisbane this month is less than it gets on average in each of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb & Mar - so get used to it! :D

Meanwhile we had our coldest Sep for 16 years.

It's all Polly's fault! She asked me to bring it before we came out. :lol:

I don't mind short bursts/downpours and then days of sunshine.

I'm enjoying it while it lasts....this weeks storms are the start of the chaotic bit of the year, when I can go whole shifts without even turning on the laptop, never mind getting to look at BE :scaredhair: I emerge at the end of shifts like that with terrible shakes, not cos of stress or lack of alcohol, but from BE withdrawal :lol:

That's highly unlikely (read impossible) as we're not travelling at the same time as you, so don't even bother with travel insurance. :D
