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.

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.
