Hi, my names SAB & I'm gonna rant!  

Nah not really, I'm over complaining about something that's out of my control  

It's been squirting down with rain here all day & it's still unloading as I type. We needed it though, so it's all good I guess... Apart from I'll then have to mow my guts out for 2 days straight in 5 or 6 days time - Damn, no ride on mower emoticon  Sad Gonna have to add one..

Can't sleep as I'm in the nocturnal, dole bludger time slot these days. That's wot I get for taking early retirement And so with that, I'm off to the shed to polish me car - What else would I be doing at 1:30AM?

Have you heard of Roundup?  Glyphosate? Tordon? Atrazine?  Just to name a few that will retire your lawnmowing days.  Note the last 2 you may not be able to get and would sterilize the soil for up to 12 months.

Don't loose your sanity, being out of work.  Hope you find something to fill in your days.

Definately warm enough for the grass to grow the last few days,  I guess you are seeing the lightning coming your way,  This particular Squall line has travelled from Charleville since this morning.  callasped for about 20mins around midday but ampped up again and is still going -  Thats Mad for the mid winter.
   Hoping for some sparks a bit closer to home tomoro ! !
