More rain predicted for a week here.... I like to check the BOM rain maps etc.... get a better idea that way.

Oh - the yard lizards (the weather forecasters) are fine - even come out while it's raining for the heat and warmth.... still warm enough to heat them up. When they begin to find it a little cool, I'll plant peas....

Happy for the rain since I don't have to water....

I'm talking acres of grass here where a couple of weeks ago there was nothing. The mowing is not so bad, it's the going round first to pick up the tree litter. Insanity now!

How many acres? I've got a HUGE garden (comparatively) about 50m of lawn to mow

I haven't seen the garden since it started raining 8 days ago as it's all the way at the bottom of a terraced block.

But it's worth it for the isolation.
