Re: Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
Yes, thank God! Not nearly as much as we need but at least the dams are up around the 80% mark at long last. It could do with being a bit more sustained rather than the showers we are having at the mo. We are also re-roofing so it isnt good weather for that but we just love it when it comes. It's much worse up in the north.

Good, everything should be looking lush and green by the time we get there . But hopefully it won't be raining much when we first arrive because we'll be camping to start off with .

We really need the steady soaking rain like they have in UK, ours has a tendency to dump and run.

Not just up your neck of the woods either. According to BOM we have had, apart from a period of 90min, "100% relative humidity" since 3:30am.. yesterday !

The upside is the mowing will have to wait ... it's pretty bad out there, found 3 Japanese soliders still fighting the war yesterday.
