Google kept saying do you mean....and trying to spell cardophagus differently...

[1ozzy]

Same here, but I insisted thistle do.

Hi Seekeerz, damp up here again, will be for a few days. Quite enjoying it as we don't usually get much.

How's things down south?

[cupid04]

How's Dame Edna doing?

[seekeerz]

I was wondering if you'd get any of the promised rain, sounds like the east coast is in for a belting again ....we've had some very nice falls and the dams are filling which is as it should be !!

cupid...Dame Edna is doing very well thank you, just the gladiolli have been disappointing this year and she's hibernating in Moonee Ponds again ...comes out covered in muck !!

[1ozzy]

Had an unusual amount over the last few weeks, won't be long before the farmers are having a moan, the weather is never just right ;-)

[cupid04]

It's the same with farmers over here...they can be a pain you know ;-))

It's been a really wet June so far here but very warm...especially at night when there's no air and you're trying to get some kip!
