Awww, that's even sadder! I was actuality thinking about your loss of Snowy when I was writing about Blue.
I've no idea what sort of summer will be heading into, but a wet one wouldn't be too bad here, as long as I avoid anything susceptible to mildew...which isn't going to happen now I think about it because we have grapevines...
awwwwww thanks for the thoughts... but yes kids are funny... although they keep talking about Snowy the second so they must understand something.
poor kids are both in bed with a fever tonight... I feel a bit rough as well. Off to watch tv and have wine and cheese i think.
Id LOVE enough room for grape vines... how awesome would that be!!!! Have enough to make a 3 bottle vintage.. lol
Wet summer is all good as long as we don't flood... our water table here in QLD is so saturated any water will flood the lands i think... we need to airdrop this water to the English rivers methinks. Poor planet... its a mess...
anyway, talk soon
Oh dear, I hope you aren't coming down with what we had. I've been hearing a lot of people have recently had something similar. Take care of yourself and take things easy.
Thankfully flooding is pretty rare here, although not unknown. The dry climate means it usually dissipates pretty quickly when we do. I don't know if I could handle the humidity of QLD.
oh there is so many about at the moment if its not "C" its flu or RSV or random virus... so many to choose from. Last year my daughter 3 in the one go (all three on a swab, flu, RSV and something else) poor kid... lol.
Yeah the grass is so sodden from the rain over winter i am DREADING summer. WE need to go and use big spikes and try and areate the lawn and improve the drainage or we will be in big trouble i think.
It DOES get pretty humid. but i guess we are used it it.. lol. Anyway take care!
Do you have clay soil? Every winter we get huge puddles on the grass when it rains.
Oh gosh, so many things doing the rounds it seems. The symptoms seem pretty similar, but some are testing positive to C whereas others aren't, so I'm at a loss as to what we may have had.
apparently in this section we do... That and the grass matts over in time and compresses i think. But it will need dealing to fairly urgently i think. I want the water to drain away as there is a retaining wall there.
