Well here i go again, another dry end to the year, must be how things go out here. The dam is pretty much dry, and i'm having to water by can, buying another load of water next week. I hope we don't get our yearly quota of rain all in 3 days again like last Australia day weekend.

 The dam is being cleaned out tomorrow by excavator to increase the capacity and fix a leak, so i should have double the capacity and maybe there'll be enough water to last through the dry season.

 

it's so frustrating having to pick and choose what to water, and watch everything struggling and wilted. 

Two new chickens inherited from next door neighbour, she doesn't know what sort they are. I've called them P1 and P2. They are such greedy guts, the golden girl has adopted them but already they are bigger than her. So now Whitey is broody and i have to drag her out of the coup to get some food and fresh air, she's a bag of bones.
