Re: NSW Rain
Ha ... I looked at the prices but I don't think we will. Drying stuff indoors works too. It's just if this is set in, with three children, the place will soon resemble a laundry....

Re: NSW Rain
I had the washing out yesterday, as I thought we'd had our share of rain for the day - suddenly it's chucking it down, mad rush into the backyard, throwing the washing into the basket in 10 seconds flat - STILL got completely soaked and had to get changed 
This morning, Sydney grinds to a halt. I wait more than 45 mins to get a bus, and then sit on a seat that's wet (why do people put bags and brollies on to the seat, not the floor?) but the bus is so busy the heat of everyone's combined breathing dries my trousers out by the time I reach my stop.
My best chum from England flies in tomorrow, yet again a visitor from England brings the wet weather with them

Re: NSW Rain
We're in a rental... leaking where they put it back together after moving it up here from the coast. I hope the house we're buying is doing ok.

Re: NSW Rain
I wish it would rain here, even for an hour. A good drenching would do the garden a world of good. The Houses either side of us have bores and on one side of us she leaves two hoses on almost all day. She goes out and leaves them running into the garden beds, 'til eventually the water is running down my wall, leaving those horrible brown stains. I've had to buy a chemical cleaner because I couldn't get the stains off without it.
You made me laugh with what you did to your dog iPom. What a good way to conserve water eh! BTW, what does your avatar mean?

Re: NSW Rain
What native plants will you put in your garden? I`m looking forward to having plants to nurturebut obviously not untill we have own garden. Rental garden actually is v.low maintenance and landlords are planning to subdivide and pull down house when we go so not really worth too much effort on my behalf. Definitely want a lemon tree in a big pot tho. If I get desparate I`ll put some plants in pots to take with us when we move.

Re: NSW Rain
Because that's my state of mind, or is at times anyway. Torn between family I miss and love so much back home and staying here. My twin niece & nephew had just been born when I put that on there and, I was feeling dreadfully low. 'In a state of torment'.

Re: NSW Rain
It's just thrown it down in Balmain - we got drenched in the walk back from Woolies at lunchtime. The daily shopping trip was much less fun in the rain!
Here is the news from the catchment authority:
(Rainfall in mm)
Warragamba Catchment 24.0
Upper Nepean Catchment 76.0
Woronora Catchment 53.0
Shoalhaven Catchment 85.0
Blue Mountains Catchment 39.0
This is up until 9 am this morning, so most of todays rain hasn't been factored in yet.

Re: NSW Rain
we have a dog but she can't stand the rain if you try to take her out she just tries to get back in the house. i must be mental, last night because it was raining i carried her up the street to the point where we usually turn round and come back then made her walk back thinking she might do her toiletting but no she just got back home as quick as she possibly could then pooed in the dining room little cow.
If we weren't having guests to stay, I'd still not bother with the tumble drier but I'm not sure how keen they'd be to share the spare room with our drying underwear etc.
I can see some light grey sky (in contrast to the dark grey bits) from my office window so it looks like it's eased over the CBD. No doubt it'll start chucking it down again when I'm going home later.

Re: NSW Rain
Have you got skype? It s a great way to keep in tousch and great that you can see the special people.OH set it up for us last night for first time and I was able to see my 17m old neice. It struck me that I would not see her grow up. It seems to be a common thread between a lot of BE users.Torn between two-should they stay or should they go. Its a tough one! Cheer up.Guess at least the sun is shinning in Perth-unlike Sydney.I`ve got to go on school run now. Not manged to get a car yet so i`ll be walking. Think i`ll take my shampoo!

Re: NSW Rain
cute dog - even if she does poo in the dining room!
We're in a rental which came with a drier - I've only used it a couple of times because I prefer to line dry, so that show how little rain NSW has had over the last year or so!

Must admit I never thought we`d need one.
