More Power Problems

The power went out again today, it tends to go out in spurts anywhere from a few seconds to an hour at a time. You know, I think I've reset my clock more times in the past couple of months than I have during the entire time I lived in London!

People are saying that it's the weather that's causing it. Apparently Brisbane has been in a drought for the past 4 years and seems to be recovering from it this year; we've had quite a few heavy showers. At the moment we're at Level 2 type water conservation. In Canada we usually hit Level 1 at most, meaning you can water your lawns every other day, etc. Level 2 means you can't water your lawn at all or wash your car, etc. I'm not sure what the rest of the details are surrounding the constraints on water usage are though.

Hi,
Just spent some time looking at all your great photos. They are fantastic, but please, don't sit on the edge of any more cliffs! My stomach did flips just looking at the picture.
And I do think Kitty needs a bigger wardrobe. You take care!

Awww Val! We blow the circuit breaker a lot where I'm living now, so I had to get a battery back-up on my alarm clock! All those girls and their hair dryers! LOL
