Can't complain
We're in the middle of a drought here in Australia and even in Melbourne we're starting to feel it. Phase 2 water restrictions have been introduced and the last six fountains in the city were turned off yesterday. The garden is drying up and our water tanks are already getting low, despite the fact that it's spring, supposedly the wettest time of the year. I can't remember the last time we had a good soaking rain.
So I can't possibly complain that the one day I arrange for a truckload of compost and mulch to be delivered it has started pouring and looks set to go on doing so for the rest of the day, now can I? Ron is in Sydney for work and it will be up to me to shovel three cubic metres of mulch from the pavement outside into our garden, before the film crew returns tomorrow. Make that three cubic metres of soaking wet mulch.
