Hya Emma & Marion .wet & misty start here . going out shortly . good luck with your census Emm ! Take care Barbra xx ATBTY .tatty Bye

Hello all,

Some of the initials on here are confusing to an old f#rt like myself :0))

Just on here whilst Home and Away is on (apologies to Marion)

Still no rain here, but some forecast for the next day or two.

Our Census is taking place in July or August and I will be applying to be a collector for the forms.

It is a paid position and will require me to be available from June until September.


Take care

Allan

Good luck with your Job application Allan . ours have been done & now the work starts to put everyone on record 2011 ! Thought yo u were a fan of H&A . TTFN .

H Barbra,

I've just been on the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) website and the jobs don't open until the 9th April so I will apply then.

Rain is forecast for this week and we really need it. Some smaller towns have run out of drinking water and it is having to be carted in.

I'm just glad that we are on scheme water and do not have to rely on Rainwater tanks: very expensive to have them filled from a tanker.

Regards

Allan

Morning Barbra,Marion and all, not a bad day
here so far. Hope you are all well. Rory poorly
for past two days must have picked up some
rubbish, dogs will be dogs. Plenty cuddles and
TLC and he is lapping it up(excuse the pun) lolx

Emmax

sorry to hear about Rory . hope he is soon better . ((((((((hug))))))))) xfrom me Barbra

Evening all.

Hope yor 'pooch' is feeling better Emma.
Just looking in,I'm of for a hot cup of tea....all the others went cold running after a young lady lol.

Marion

Helo all

Emma, sorry to hear about your dog. I hope that he is feeling a bit better by now.

Something weird happened just after midnight on Wednesday (or very ealy minutes of Thursday): something started falling from the sky. There was a rumour that it may have been rain but its been so long since anyone in this area has seen rain, this rumour could not be confirmed.

Also today forecast to be 22c Yesterday was 32c.

We need heaps more rain for it to make an impact on our water supplies but at least the garden will appreciate it.

This State is a State of Contradictions. Up North, where this is very little population, there is more fresh water than the entire state could use in a hundred years and the seasonal rainfall is very dependable, with the odd cyclone thrown in.

Down here in the SW where the population, including Perth, is nearly 2 million and growing rapidly, our drinking water is drying up.

There is now talk of piping the water from the north to the south, a distance of a few thousand kilometres, This has been talked about on at least two previous occasions and each time the proponents were met with derision. It now appears that they were correct all along!

Allan
