Yeah mate, pissed me off when they lifted the restrictions to using hoses and shit on the garden and buckets for the car. just because the level rose a bit they think it's over.

Coming from Scotland we had no problem obviously with rain !! I do everything I can to conserve water, we use grey water and we installed bore water for the garden. I should be OK if there's a fire as I live on an island, at least we could just bale in there if it ever hit us.

I know where you are mate and its as dry as a nun, hope it doesn't come your way.
