It has rained pretty much every day in Sydney for about the last 3 weeks. It has been a very stormy month with loads of unsettled weather and cyclones hitting the NSW coast.

As I ride a bike for work frankly I am getting seriously fed up with getting drenched day in day out… (when I first got here I met a guy who told me it had been the driest November in recorded history here and he claimed that it didnt really rain in Sydney…!)

Today the bike broke down on the way to my last job (most likely waterlogged spark plug, circuits and airbox apparently) and I had to push the bike 6kms to the garage, most of it up hill in properly torrential rain. Other than my break down a few weeks back (4 inch piece of metal went through the back tyre, shredding it and leaving me stranded at 5pm on a friday about 30kms from home) I think its been my least fun day for a long long long long time.

Anyway, life goes on so here are a few of my favourite houses from May (skip image 1)…
