Oh dear, much tea and sympathy from me! My old mate is getting really long in the tooth himself and barely made it through winter (thanks only to major pampering and squillions of $'s worth of hard feed). We're on tank water here too and had to truck in a few thousand litres halfway thru winter...been rationing it severely ever since and there's been next to no rain since then to top it off so I know how you're feeling there. I'd love a bit of that Hawaiian or Scottish rain...two of my dams are EMPTY and the third one is looking really sad...and summer has just started WOE WOE!

And after that little hijack, we now return you to our regular scheduled thread...

Seriously Girls, you have my sympathy there. I guess we take it too much for granted that we can just turn on a tap and have an endless supply of good clean water. Suppose thats the downside of living in the country, having peace and quiet and all your animals around you. I will get my villagers to do a raindance just for our friends in Australia and I'll even say a prayer for you this evening.
All my love

Just moved to San Antonio Texas from the land of enchantment, New Mexico. Came to be closer to grandbaby. What a joy!

Thanks Fishy Francis. I like SA and I am really having fun with this game. I have one village (puzzles all solved)that has been going for over a month. I have one village that I am micro managing, naming each new member by alphabetical order. I am to the I's. I have not solved all the puzzles in this one so that my people will continue to work as reasearchers, and keep from getting the "darling" GC. Thanks for the welcome!!

I wish we had the rain out here! We desperately need it. It has been drizzling on and off for a few days, but theres no where near enough rain to make everything green again. It's just so dry.
