Drought...

There is actually a drought here... Rain was supposed to come 1 1/2 months ago.... and it is still no where in sight. I've moved to the new house 1st Sept and I have yet to experience rain over here. As a result, my garden is like mega dry. Ground is like soooo dry that it is cracking. Grass is dying.. Mmm.. Think gardener and maid not doing job of watering the plants???

Also, it's soooo dry that it is also creating some problem with the swimming pool. Water evaporated and there is no replenishment from the rain. And stupid pool man emptied
the whole tangki into the swimming pool and left us with ZERO water. Of course cannot right? I mean the tangki is so small compared to the bloody swimming pool. I had to use some of my engineering skills to try to sort out the valving and such. Had to close off my pressure pump and activate the groundwater pump to fill up the tangki.. Realised that my water comes from the ground......GOD knows what shit is in the water.. but cannot exactly use bottled water to brush teeth too, right?

Anyway, hope rain comes soon.....not a whole lot but enough to fill up my swimming pool, give my plants and grass some nourishment and hydration, elevate the groundwater levels.. Come at night...very nice to sleep. :-)
