We have had 152 mm so far this month, mostly in gentle showers.

The subsoil is recharged again, the pasture is green again, everything is
leaping ahead. I have three kinds of squash escaping from their mounds and
filling the fridge.

The river is running, the dam is full, the house tanks runneth over.


So good to hear! Ditto here, but we had some quite heavy rain at times. And
now the kikuyu runneth over my vegies :-(

Most of the strawberries had individual grey fur coats :-(

The BT and pyrethrum is all gone. My fingers were glued together with
squashed grubs ...
but I washed before typing.


Thanks for that delightful mental picture!

I have two little boys who have spent the weekend getting muddy in the back
yard. Napisan does work to remove mud, I found. However, the pastime of
"throw the rock into the ditch" was abandoned today after the smaller one
copped one on the head (no serious injuries, I'm happy to report).
