29mm is a useful amount
I don't know about Cheryl getting rain as looks clear down there but Mary-Anne should be getting some.

we have a lot of rain at the moment, the trees should recover now.

 rain what rain, the sky is clear and the sun is out at work

if they don't they're weeds.

Sure are, but if you look at Logan now its the only place around Brissie that's clear..
The rain kept me awake from 3am I dropped back to sleep just before 5.30 when it was time to get up something was dripping and I can not sleep if I had to shut the glass door from my room to the back decking so I had to put up with it. Rain on the roof is lovely drip drip is not I will have to find out where is it and shove a old towel for it to drip on..
It was gentle rain soaking rain which is what we need.
Tony said 26mm in the rain gauge at 5.45 am and it has rained more since.
That 5460 more litres in the big tank and 2340 in the smaller tank.
And they are both full again overflow from the small tank go to the bamboo
Overflow from the big tank goes under the house via a 30mt x 100mm flexible down-pipe.
To the other side of the block where I am trying to grow a Rainforest of sorts..
I am a very Happy Banana Bender Today 
So are all my friends That's me in the yellow outfit..

Thanks Girls.. Gee its a bit chilly billy here 21 degs and I have been wet so many times this morning as we have had even more rain since, the girls are sopping wet and I got another shower at the chook house gate when I went down to get the eggs all of a sudden out of nowhere came this wind and all the raindrops from the two big gum trees showered down on me brr, and no brolly..
Its lovely to see it so wet and it is raining lightly at present and looking at the BOM site Gail you will be getting this also.
Your turn next Cheryl
Gwen a few days grace before it starts again maybe..

Not yet Richard few scattered light showers about , but not over my place, got a few ml. the other night, enough to make everything look dirty
