The runoff flushed some azolla out of the dam. Now I am losing horses in the
long grass. We cannot eat the thinnings of the lettuce fast enough. There
are rows of pink bottle quinces on shelf issuing invitations. The peas and
broad beans are thriving. In a few days I will plant six or seven kinds of
brassicas. It's nice.

I reckon the drought *IS*over.

What is stuffing things up is ****** politicians brushing under the carpet the need for increased water storage to keep pace with
increasing population.

OK which drought the rainfall drought or the water storage drought????? We
have had a few storms go thru in the last cupla days but only to fill house
tanks not the town supplies. The coastal (Brissy) supplies are @ 50% only
cuz they are stealing from the Gold Coast.

are 60% full then there is no drought interesting assumption hey, said
in a manner like see how good i am for yo i got rid of the drought.

I wonder if the part that is still drought affected will remeber it ext
election or write to her and their local member to give them a reality
check. Better yet, write to the newspapers.

g'day terry,

i know we are drifting a bit but i have no faith in voters anymore, i
mean they couldn't even remember the massive mess of and oil spill
that the gov was way way too slow to move on, i thought for sure that
would cost her the job, imagine the mess then had this occured up
closer to the reef.

take care
With peace and brightest of blessings,
