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.

Hi Mate,
You can have some of my bloody rain. In fact you can have a lot of my bloody

Send it down here where we haven't had rain for months - and the air is
smoky from the fires not that far over the border...
