My garden and pastures are slowly drinking in the rain that has been
falling on-and-off for 4 days. So far 60mm and more on the way. The
cracks are closing, the grass is growing and tanks are full. The
steady showers are filling up the subsoil with almost no runoff
which is great. Perhaps in a couple of days if the big sponge is
getting full some runoff to refill the dams and to get the river
going would be nice. The horses have all calmed down and stopped
charging about - they seem to know their life will be better now.
Sadly, for the moment, it looks like the rain in NSW will be mainly
east of the ranges down to about Sydney.

What do you use your horses for, David? Are you a mad Pony Club Dad or
do Adult Riding Club or...?


We run a retirement herd for elderly and unsound horses, eleven at last
count.
