Water

Here in New Zealand, we have been having a fabulous summer.  With lots of blue skies and warmth, many parts haven't had any rain since August.  Our city has had a bit, but last week some water restrictions were put on - from last Saturday we were not able to use sprinklers in our garden.  As of this Saturday, no watering in the garden at all is allowed - mum will have to put away the watering can.

The good thing is that rain is forecast, so mum knows the garden should be alright.  At the moment our city only has water supplies for twenty days, so hopefully the rain will sort that out.  Mum and her besties are planning a trip to the movies, as they feel guilty sitting inside when the sun is shining outside.

We know we are lucky though, as many other cities have to pay for their water supply, our water here is free and usually plentiful.
