So it is YOU who has brought on all this cloud cover in the last few weeks. If it clears after Wednesday in the Emerald city (but don't move here with the 'scope, dear sir, pretty please!)... well there might be a lynching party or two coming to your district !!

Will you be making a suitable appeasing offerings to those temperamental sky gods?

Cool Good point...

Actually, we should all pray that the cloud just sits over the Victorian dams, at least to fill 'em up a bit more from the recent 25% in the Press Release today.

Just hope the rest of the cloudy sky runs away from your location!

(A few regular choice curses to the night sky might be helpful??)
