RAIN & MORE RAIN ................

Well we arrived home from holidays to find that there had been over 5 inches (162 ml) of rain in the previous couple of days - something that was badly needed. The dam actually backed up with the back paddock flooding a bit - something which hasn't happened for quite a few years so we will now have plenty of water for the winter. The tanks were full & overflowing & so was the pool which was great to see. We do have town water as well but try to not use that for anything other than laundry, kitchen & bathroom. We will have the washing machine connected to the tank water too soon which will drop our usage of town water even further.
