Stage 4 water restrictions

So on the radio today it said that as of the start of November the area that we're staying, the Grampians, will be under stage 4 water restrictions because there's been this mad drought, no rain over the winter and now we're going into summer, all the dams are empty and the farmers haven't got any water!!

What that means for your average joe is that you can hardly use any water i.e. no watering gardens which is the usual no washing cars only 1 bucket of water to clean windscreens and lights, sporting grounds can't water so all the sports fields & golf courses won't get watered and kids can't even use their water pistols or they'll get in trouble!!

The restrictions go onto to stage 5 but i don't know what they do then maybe stop people flushing the toilet or washing dishes, I don't know!

Just thought it was a little weird!

And it's bucketing rain here......floods all round - the A9 blocked north of the Cromarty Bridge, our roof leaking as usual - a funny old world.
