Please Rain

It doesn't look very promising, does it?

But it hasn't rained properly in months... the tank is dry and everything is going to pot. Corn, tomatoes, beans and eggplant - everything.

The Bureau of Meteorology have promised rain for this afternoon, and I am holding them to it.

I've even left two full loads of washing on the line for extra encouragement.

Ali you do know that you can water/sprinkle/wash/whatever without let or hindrance until midnight on Sunday 27th November? You do have to pay for the water but at a couple of dollars per one thousand litres, it is just about free - the major cost on the water bill is infrastructure and you pay that even if you never used a drop.

Oh, you can have some of ours. My tomatoes are rotting. Yes, rotting!

Elaine - no, I had no idea! The only thing that's been stopping me from using town water was the cost. You are gold young lass, pure gold!

I am off to WATER!!!

I found washing the car also helps it rain ;-)

Where is all this rain you speak of?! I am with anonymous - just a light shower here. I am being ripped off!!!

Gooseberry Jam said...

Oh shame! It sounds like you'll need to move just a little bit further south Ali, I'm in between Brissy & Gold Coast and we've just had another sprinkle.... :) I'll try to blow some back up your way!
