but god forbid you give the veggies or the flowers a bit of a
squirt with the hose. it's quite all right to have a bazillion-litre
shower when you're not even dirty, but god forfend you water a tree so
it
doesn't die.

Well, to be truthful, you need a heck of a lot of water to substitute for
a
shower of rain. Squirts with the hose are pretty useless -- you need to
water for a couple of hours to do any good.

well, clearly i was exaggerating in both directions :-) (most people don't
have a bazillion-litre shower either. except perhaps in coogee & the hills
district ;-)
