No Barbra - not the cold front!! :-S :-S :-0 :-0

I told him to.keep.warm but has he listened ? :-D

Phew!!
....I did wonder...... :-D

The front is still cold :-|

Half our monthly average of rain fell in one day (last Friday). A BBQ in a local rural setting had to be cancelled and more heavy rain expected this coming weekend :-0

Fortunately I have my supply of wine :-D :-D

On the plus side no hosepipe ban for a few days at least Allan. :-)


By supply of wine how many crates??

Oh, Caroline, the delicious irony of your first sentence...sprinkler bans come into force tomorrow :-D :-D :-D

We are already on restricted watering days depending on your house number. That is why I dug up the back lawn some time ago and put gravel down in the front garden.

I don't do wine by the crate, although I do have about three dozen bottles; I buy by the five litre cask....very upmarket ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Ohh hark at you all posh now....

Are you serious about the water wow!

The water, yes. Restrictions and bans have been in place for a number of years now and even if you have your own bore you still have to comply.

Many new houses are being built with systems that recycle the 'grey water' for garden use ie only waste from toilets goes into the sewer.

As usual, people in Perth use the majority of fresh water on their gardens, but the rest of the State's population carries the can :-|

You can have my water if you want Allan, it's piddling it down here :-(

No, but thanks for the offer, Kathryn :-D :-D

More rain expected over the next few days, but as winter officially starts tomorrow I can't really complain.

Time to get a few more logs chopped :-D :-D

Chop , chop up and at it :-D

Don't rush him...let him think it's his idea....force labour as if...

Hang on! I wasn't suggesting that I do it :-|

That's woman's work together with taking the washing down to the local river. While the washing is soaking in the pool OH can chop some wood :-P :-P

Sheesh!

:-D :-D :-D :-D

and you will meanwhile be doing......???

:-D :-D

Some surfing probably either the sea or the net! ;-)

:-D :-D

Honestly! You women!

I can't go surfing in the sea while OH is doing the washing and wood-chopping...who else will row the boat? :-P

And as for surfing the net, we are now self-sufficient in electricity generation, but only when OH is back on the hamster wheel, she can't be in two places at once.

You really know nothing of life in Australia :-|

Although I feel sure that if ever RtR were to read this thread he could give a four page précis of his take on it and why everyone else, including Australians, know nothing :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

Only four pages why so brief??

Because he can't Google more than one site at a time :-D :-D
