Still Dry with a capital D

Only 16mm fell here at Larnook in October, 20 in September and only 5 in August, so it's certainly looking very dry here. We were hoping that our friend, Piglet (aka Michael) would bring some much needed precipitation with him from the central coast while he was here over the weekend, but alas, all he could muster up was 1mm. One of Antony's (our current HelpXer) daily tasks is simply to water our gardens and fruit trees. We are lucky we have two water tanks, one which is rainwater derived, and provides our drinking and washing water, and the other which is bore-derived, which provides our garden and toilet flushing water. If we didn't have both these tanks we would have had to have bought water by now.
Really hoping we get 50-75mm this month. We are basically buying lucerne now to feed the boys as there is hardly any grass left in their paddock. (that's about $70.00 a week in lucerne - ouch).
