Don't make me get all Vash on you and quote the rainfall statistics from the BOM site for summer 07/08 in Brisbane.

We enjoy the feeling of a larger family, and on weekends we get more, because all their friends like to hang out at our place...more noise and movement, I think.

You have a bit of catching up to do with my wife's family though. She is one of 25 siblings...it is what can happen when your Dad has 3 wives at once.

Mozambique is like that.

All the best for your move down under.

Worst summer I can remember was ages ago, 03 i think it was so damn hot for six months, playstation in the AC was a sanity saver.
