Default The Rains are here Marg.

After weeks of endless sunshine here in Melbourne its finally chucking it down tonight.
I'm betting Hevs & Hup just got a delivery of water for there tanks, it usually chucks it down just after that.

Great to see the rain though & coming from Scotland I never thought I'd say that.

Thats a cruel thing to say, cos they need about 6 months worth of continuous rain. I wouldn't wish that on anyone

Great to hear its finally raining down there, could do with some more up here. With me I can usually guarantee if I spend hours cleaning and polishing the car, it will rain within two days.

I was just about to type this. I saw some writing on a car which had Vic number plates on about waterless car cleaning, and was gonna ask him what it was about, but his car was dirty so dont think it works to well

We havn't had rain thats touched our tanks (needs to be a constant downpour for about 10 mins) since that freezing feak day in Feb (around the 15th) Its actually still really warm, sunny and dry, so all those of you who bag Melbourne for its weather should bog off

Thanks for your thoughts Bordy, yep we had water delivered last week, but were totally empty!! but i think we only got a trickle in the tanks for about 20 mins.

Carl, bring ya car down here to clean it mate

Maybe we could get Badge to clean his pool again - it rained for 6 weeks the last time he did that
