But Im not bitching & whinging that its raining when we've not had any decent rain since December or January.
Exactly - its either too hot, too cold, too wet, too humid ....

.If we get much more rain than that last night, it could be in the house. I did hear that some of the new Redland Bay houses got badly flooded.
If anyone knows about drainage, i'd be happy to talk to them

Re: The rain in Brisbane.!!
I think it's safe to say that the aussies want it to rain, and the pommies want it to rain....at night and slightly less often! Can't please everyone. I have to say I feel most sorry for the tradies (who lose work) and the mum's (who lose their sanity! )
Me, I'm working on the basis, no matter how much it rains here....it'll be less than what I experienced for the last 13 years in Scotland, and the temperatures at night here, were the 'top' temps during the day in bonny Scotland!

These last few days have really opened my eyes to any dreams of constant sunshine!!
Just had a call from hubby,all his calls were in the Gold Coast this morning & he has been told to turn back as the roads surrounding the Gold Coast are shut off,it has taken him an hour to get to Brackenridge! (usually ten minutes)as if three kids at home wasn't enough for me to cope with,hubby's on his way home too
Anyone on their way to Brisbane make sure you pack your raincoats,wellies & umbrella!!
