Yeah we got 15mm in about an hour overnight. Not as good as Friday but good follow-up rain to soak into the garden.

My garden is drier than when we were 'officially' in drought, who would have ever thought we were going to need to 'make' water...

The first water order from Victoria's controversial desalination plant will be made by the Andrews government to help combat declining water storages across the state.

Premier Daniel Andrews and Water Minister Lisa Neville made the announcement at Cardinia reservoir on Sunday morning for 50 billion litres (50 gigalitres), ending months of speculation that an order would be placed.

I gotta make up mind on if we cancel the club trip this weekend or not. Don't want to get stuck in middle of HC if things go tits up.

Early forecast for the weekend weather is equivalent to Black Saturday :(

Although Mansfield now shows
Tues 37°C
Wed 35 °C
Thurs 31 °C
Fri 33 °C
Sat 31 °C
Sun 29 °C

Might divert to Lake Cobbler for a swim!

Nah way more humidity at the moment, and that week was 40+ for a couple of days. It's not even a TFB day tomorrow. You'll be fine.
