We also didn’t have much summer. The last week and a half the days were real scorchers. It’s also very, very dry. You won’t believe it when you see the usually green fields are totally brown and dried out. Don’t know where farmers are going to get food for their animals in the coming winter.
The problem is that places that needed rain the most didn’t get any. Auckland had at one stage nearly empty dams. The tings is also there are many people more than the dams can provide water for. Same here the Twin Lakes has not enough water. The started planning for a third dam but it’s on hold at this stage. People also don’t keep to the water restriction rules. They use water as if there is no shortage.
They just ignore it. On Sunday was my water turn but n lady across the road was watering at five in the afternoon while the time is from 7 to 9 pm. I asked her if she knew there is water restriction. Answer: Yes I know but I want to keep the plants alive.” Told her but… she also mentioned she comes from Australia and what ever. I kept say: It’s not your turn. Some clever people think they are better than others. Makes me very angry. I usually leaf it but this time was just to much.
There is no accounting for idiots. Darn Aussies!
We cannot control what selfish people do. But it is a shame they spoil it for others. Being Australian she should know better.

We are going into autumn, no daffodils yet. Good for the northern hemisphere. Yellow makes us smile, sunny colour.

Bring Autumn on. Although I have to admit we have had a really cool summer by the standards of the last few years. What about over your way?

That sounds dreadful for NZ. Is it dry across the whole continent? We have actually had a wet season here. Strange times.

Oh dear. So they are not used to water restrictions yet. More education must be needed.
