Re: Perth, another weather moan
I'm quite happy things being the way they are if I can take the kids to the local beach on Saturday afternoon and be the ony ones there (and it's normally sunny, the wind adds atmosphere, and the showers have only been occassional). Mind you we did have to have the agent's handyman out yesterday when yet another piece dropped off our rental house in the wind!
