It’s either too much bloody rain or not enough and a drought!
Speaking of which… Don’t know if anyone’s been watching Clarkson’s Farm?
Love him or hate him.. I really lhave enjoyed the series..
One titbit that he mentioned was, “Next time a farmer says to you that it’s either been too wet or too dry, don’t write him off as a typical whinging farmer.. Put your arm around him and say, I feel for you!” Because I now truly do understand..

I welcome the rain and don't mind the extra bit of mowing, heck even my gardens are looking great.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good 'problem' to have. Certainly better than the alternative! Back in November, my lawns were looking very shabby, being very dry and starting to look like they normally do at the end of summer.

Well, technically I only share my boundary with five other properties, which sounds a lot but is normal for an ice-cube style arrangement (one either side, one directly behind and then the two diagonals). It's just that there's a couple of properties close by that I don't share a border with.

Looks worse than it is, really. Three of those properties I don't even see or hear anything from. The upside is there's only four houses in my court and I've got some beautiful old gums just out the front, which makes up for it a bit for me.

Still, I know being in suburbia is not for everyone.
