Started raining last night about 9pm and hasn't stopped yet 6 pm.

Not light but heavy and heavy and heavy.

Seems as if the rain from Oz has been blown over to the UK by Cyclone Yasi

doubt my prior posts eye30,or just taking the piss?

You could easily catch some fishes there

Thinking about a few useful mods for your cars already...

eye30 · **Reply #883: February 09, 2011, 19:11:11**

Is the 3rd a river? or I take it it is the road.

Looks bad but at least you are on higher ground

My wife (TrishCW) is stuck in Darwin (at the far north of OZ) Was supposed to fly back last night and arrive here mid afternoon.. but Darwin Airport is closed for several days due to a Category 1 Cyclone...

Where she is has had no power for 24 hours and very few trees left in the back yard

..

Wont be home for atleast 3 more days

.. But I think she is safe...

you'll be running out of clean clothes by now.

He's probably had the nice young thing from down the road in to do his washing...

I wonder how many miles he's put on the CW while she's been away

The CW has about 650kms on it now.. I've been quite restrained (half a dozen 15 -20 km return trips over the 3 weeks) A very nice drive

Hemmi · **Reply #893: March 05, 2011, 15:48:15**

it's 7°C raining horizontally and miserable

Dazzler · **Reply #894: March 05, 2011, 19:22:29**

Cooling down a bit quick over here

We had a garage sale yesterday (no we didn't sell any garages :-\) and when I got up at 6am to move our cars out of the way it was only 2 degrees C

Ended up been quite a pleasant day as it does down here after a cold start (Sunny with a light breeze and around 18 degrees I'm guessing)

Oh you lucky people Dazz

I've said it before Tassie is like England but with good weather

All we are having here is a heatwave and trying to break records and the night time temperatures are very warm too ..... My aircon: electric bill would make you cry ....

Dazzler · **Reply #896: March 06, 2011, 11:34:10**

Ozbrum.. you seem like a good fella ... pity you can't move down here..

If I lived in Queensland or Earthquake prone parts of New Zealand i would be moving to Tassie (it is a really under-rated place)

We seemed to get through the GFC fairly well unscathed although seems to have stagnated a bit the last 6 months which even makes house prices affordable for those interested in moving here... Can get a nice 4 Bedroom Brick house in a good area for under A$300,000

Ozbrum · **Reply #897: March 07, 2011, 11:24:59**

Yeah I'm too old now Dazz to be able to pack up and go there

but I've known a few Aussie/Poms that made the big decision to move from Perth to Tassie and have no regrets but I'm 60 now and have a health issue

and I do remember considering Tassie just before they locked MB

anyway I couldn't take the cold winters with my bones

.

Sorry guys if I've drifted a little off topic there but most is weather related

bumpkin · **Reply #898: March 07, 2011, 11:31:42**

Spring is beginning to show itself, beautiful sunshine for the last week, although the winds are keeping temperatures below double figures.

Dazzler · **Reply #899: March 07, 2011, 11:35:01**

No Worries Ozbrum.. will try and catch up next time we get over to Perth

Another Perth member was telling me earlier you had a mini tornado cut a swathe through parts of Perth in the last couple of weeks... :o
