Hi  ..

 

No rain since I got back to Brissie end of last month.

Son & neighbour mumbled about how many times they had to mow the grass while I was away for the previous couple of months.

Now it's browning off  & the mango is dropping inmature fruit as it the lime tree.  The bananas ripened a couple of weeks before I got home and the afore said mentionmed how flavoursome they were!!!

Cleaned out the inlet & outlet of the near empty rain water tanks, closed the hatches on the van & ran the fertiliser trolley over the lawn. 

Send it down Hughey .. bit not too much please.

And  .. please stop the rain & wind before we go off to Ballina for the annual family get together in early December.

This is called the build up.Its bloody hot!Bill

Blue survived three wet seasons in Darwin in the RAAF Barracks, they didn't have any air con then.  He loved every minute of it.   Not for this little black duck though, the heat and more to the point, humidity and I don't see eye to eye

Just as well he got out before he went troppo Ma, it is the humidity that is the killer, though the dry is just Magic........

Still visiting Tumut where the river has been running quite high with water being released from Blowering Dam over the last week so that they arnt caught with the same problems that Queensland recently had to deal with. Started raining last night reasonably heavy and mid afternoon is still raining, just hope we dont have to pack up wet gear for trip home on Monday.

 WOW....last time I was there the boat ramp must have been a klm from the water.....maybe a slight exaggeration but I am sure you know what I mean.

Just googled the current level and you are right.....98.4%
