Aspi writes and tells me that he is getting along OK with the renovations. And another interesting thing he told me was that they are very short of water in South East Queensland where he is. Everyone is encouraged to be very careful with what they use and many things are prohibited, like watering the garden and washing your car. Only one shower per day is recommended and that is to be no longer than four minutes. To get around these water restrictions many people now have tanks in their back yards, they save the rain which falls on the roof and use it for washing the car and watering the garden. Many people are now beginning to use it for flushing the toilet and washing their clothes in the washing machine. And people have begun to use grey water to water their gardens.
This is an example of a Queensland domestic water tank.
Well, that’s interesting but definitely not as interesting as what I had planned to write, I really do wonder what it was! I will probably never remember now.
Near where Bill lives has been in the news a lot lately, well, twice. Firstly, a week or so ago, there were a lot of UFO’s sighted close by and yesterday, sadly, a young man was killed in an armed raid at a post office.
