Iâve been gardening this morning and lamenting over how dry it is. And it brought back my own memories of establishing the garden here during that drought and i remember standing in buckets in the shower to catch every last drop.

Down the bellarine again.
Still have the leak that the plumber couldnât find but getting close! So have to run down the block and turn the tank water on and off after use. 1 minute showers :( Filling buckets for watering, washing clothes by hand in the sink, flushing the dunny every 2nd time.
Reminds me of stage 4 water restrictions back in the day with the millennium drought. Only difference is back then used to also bring a bucket into the shower and keep grey water from the rare use of the washing machine for plants. Those were the days.
Really makes you appreciate running water that works unlike a lot of the world.
