Monday - back to work

Not as hot (35c). It rained - 1mm - so then was humid. (I sometimes think this area will develop into the central victorian desert - rain north, rain south, but none here.)

I work off farm to help pay the way through drought. The off-farm work is with a local pump and irrigation supplier. Unfortunately, I have to deal with people with weekend holiday properties - "Oh, we are running out of water! Can you come out on the weekend and solve our problem?". Yeah, right. Just let your garden die like ours is. Darwinian survival - some plants, even nice ones, do make it. Sadly, my job brings out a cruel negativity that I did not realise I posessed. (Well, OK, I did realise, but thought it was just unhealthy cynicism.)
