It hasn't stopped raining here all week. My garden is waterlogged and i just feel washed out. None of which is helping to sell the house !!
Can't wait to get somewhere where it doesnt rain all day everyday.
Selling my house may cheer me up, having lots to drink at my farewell parties or maybe getting on the plane with a one way ticket........

After 2 wks in NSW in Feb (their summer) we came across a newspaper headline that there had been more rain in those previous 2 wks than there had been in the previous 2 yrs.
And the rain this week in the UK has not been as bad as in Sydney

Autumn showers?
FIERCE storms lashed Perth overnight creating havoc for morning peak-hour traffic as roads were closed due to local flooding and fallen powerlines and trees.
Weather forecasters said more storms were expected to hit the city today with severe winds of up to 110km/h following the overnight gusts of up to 117km/h.
Localised flooding and fallen powerlines and trees created massive traffic jams across the metropolitan area, police said.
Some major roads, such as Perth's Riverside Drive, were closed due to flooding.
Two northbound lanes of the Kwinana Freeway were closed by flooding from the Swan River, causing a massive build-up of traffic south of the river.
Peak-hour traffic stretched for kilometres back down the freeway and on feeder roads such as Canning Highway. Many workers spent more than two hours in traffic jams.
Emergency services reported only minimal damage, mostly from fallen trees, but said workers would spend most of the day mopping up.
Seaside councils are assessing the extent of erosion after a record 1.9m tide dumped wild seas onto land.

You are spot its great even in Autumn , dream on.
Much of central western Victoria was blacked out and dozens of houses damaged last night by a severe storm described as a "mini tornado".
Several houses had their roofs blown off and up to 50 others were damaged when the storm struck about 6.30pm.
Trees were uprooted and power lines brought down as the storm blacked out Castlemaine, Bendigo and Maldon, a Country Fire Authority spokesman said.
Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Scott Williams said he believed wind speeds ranged from 130km/h to a maximum of 150km/h at the core of the storm.
"It was definitely a tornado," Mr Williams said.
"It cut a fairly narrow swathe, only a couple of hundred metres in width on average and about seven kilometres in length and lasted about 10 minutes. The actual thunderstorms that spawned it were moving at about 40 to 45km/h.

Note that in Oz its the summer when you get most rainfall (not the winter), it's supposed to be drier in the winter, though not as recently witnessed in Sydney
