I've been re-locating my business to Mascot over the last 10 days and every frick'n day it has rained!.. I've been starting at 0300 and working 15hr days to get the move done as well as keep the wheels of commerce turning.. I am so pissed off.. Haven't had a second to check on my 67 beetle re-build.. I've got to move the 71 Van out from where it is (new tenants need the spot) and all the bloody time I'm dealing with this it is frick'n raining! At least I had the SC Ute tuned up and its running well.. Driving that girl home every night keeps me sane.. Just!! And the red wine helps.. But seriously... I'm over the precipitation!!! If its raining in the morning I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to..... Who?

Been a pain trying to ge the washing done, and mow the lawn... But the worst is dealing with people driving like tools (which they always do, its just worse in the wet in a 35 yr old car...)

Yeah 6 mm on the in-laws farm from overnight just outside of Muswellbrook. It sounds different on the tin roof at night, so you appreciate it more on the farm.

But I'm over it in Sydney.

Hi

I'm waterproof, I haven't leaked yet so the rain doesn't bother me to much, I'm on 3 weeks leave, I was planning to do some work around the house, no pink jobs like doing the washing, yikes. So more time in the garage with the bugs.

So what's wrong with country music anyway, I like both sorts of music.

I know how you all feel, but from Dec to end of Mar we had just under 1700mm of rain during the wet season. Not only does it rain the frickin humidity is through the roof and mould grows on everything.

Now we are in the dry season and will not see rain till Nov/Dec and we will be bitching we can't wait for the rain......

Ah well can't keep everyone happy. 😂
