It hasn't been nice here all week. 100% humidity and 30+ temps with rain every night.

Although we need the rain Mt Beauty hasn't had much at all. Wednesday evening we had 5 drops of rain while 50Km down the valley had 170mm and flooded roads and paddocks everywhere. Probably some happy farmers.
This weather is ideal for my termite infestation but it's too hot for me to chase them around the house. Little white buggers.

The last time we had this weather/cloud cover I remember was a quite a few years ago and decided I would revisit an old hobby of gem hunting until the weather cleared.
The problem with that venture was that all the creek crossings were flooded/ closed due to the rain and could not get to the gem sites
Could not take a trick

What you need is the ability to assign a specific avatar to a post, so you can match it to the message.

One more pouring in Sydney. Time to check the drainage.

Again.
