Just had a chat to my brother no one believes me but we are heading into drought. No one seems to remember 1997 -2009. It's coming again (maybe at least to an extent) and here I am feeling like the weirdo in the corner with the Thomson at 100%. I'm not apologising.
why do you think I went nuts on the tanks first and foremost with the new place
I've been saying it all year. It just feels like it. Warm dry autumn and winter leads to drought.
Well I guess it depends on what you mean by drought. It's true that this summer will be drier than usual, but in practical terms I think we are pretty good for water.
You don't believe me either. I'm more worried about next year and beyond they (droughts) go for some time.
It's hard to predict weather and climate that far into the future, so I can't say you're wrong.
But honestly that's Australia, it's always been a land of fire and floods, so another drought was inevitable sooner or later in any case. It is what it is.
Ahh crap :(
