The drought is worse than I thought

This isn't my photo, but I saw this on Flickr and it really hit home.

This is exactly what it's like in our region at the moment. In 2 weeks' time we'll barely be able to water our garden with a hose as our water restrictions are tightening.

I've taken to showering with a bucket under my feet, to catch all the extra water.

But we think it's bad for us in town - it's even worse for the farmer.

Bloody depressing. Pray for rain!

And here, we're having heavy rain, drizzle and downpours everyday... I wish I could send you some of our extra water. And I hope you won't suffer too much from the heat, brush fires, etc.

We ended up installing a drip watering system so that our plants dont all die, you are only allowed to water from midnight here.

We are about to have even drip systems banned - in about a week! It's all hand watering and no lawn watering from here on in.
