Hello? I'm ready now.

I understand that in theory this has been a "normal" Perth winter, but it's a long time since we've had one of those and yes-the-farmers-need-it and the more recent got-to-top-up-those-aquifers-sometime aside, I've quite enjoyed the dry sunny winters of recent years.

( In which I complain about the weather, and drop in a brief cat reference. Makes the $2K I spent on the laptop seem worthwhile. )

Do you crave the Spring, fellow Perthites et al?

PS In happier water news, our house used less than half of our suburb average water consumption last meter period. Looks like the bath is balanced by the grass-free garden.
