That means that we won't be able to have a bonfire this year. I'm
sorry, but there's just too much dry grass about..

It's bloody pouring here in Perth today. We're well on track for one of out
wettest Aprils on record. We passed the fifth wettest yesterday.

Bloody global warming!

Enjoy it while it lasts - next year might be different. Tarago
enjoyed a comparatively wet summer this year (hence the long grass).

No ****. I got ****ed on today on the bike. First time I have ever been wet
through my Dri-Rider overalls.

La Niña more likely, but I suspect you knew that.

What opera does she sing in?

OK, OK, but really, global warming should mean more rain, not less.

Yeah. I wish those people would keep their dogs leashed when they go
out walking!

It's climate change, not global warming. Think of it as putting more
energy in the weather system which causes the system to be more 'active'
(yes that's a gross over simplification

So expect more extremes rather than noticible warming (although if
energy keeps entering the system and staying there that might change).

Minx didn't pike on the Australia Day ride either!

Oi! Don't be so bloody greedy. Send some over to Melbourne where we
need it!

Bloody gubiment has started plans to take water out of the productive
farming areas in the Goulburn Valley and pipe to to Melbourne to water
the conctrete. So any rain we get is sorely needed.

Speak for yourself. Bloody marvellous motorcycling weather here in
sunny Melbourne. According to the BoM so far this month in Perth city
they've had 131mm of rain and the BoM station closest to me in suburban
Melbourne has measured 6.8mm, but it's on the hill over the river, which
gets more rain than I do.. my gauge has only registered 4mm for the month.
