This is what I love to see

Water flowing into the tanks.

Water in the tanks

Brrr Cold it is

After the dust clouds came through last week (more on that below). How cold did it get. Yass temps for the weekend were

• Sat 4-10
• Sun 3-7.8 (icy winds blowing from the mountains as well)
• Mon 3.2-11.9 (and very little wind)

On the dust storm, I missed the first one in Yass (caught it while in Sydney). Anyway as you may be aware, we drink the water from out tank and up until now that has been fine. But since the dust storm the water is a bit murky (and even a new filter does not help). Do people know if I just have to wait for the fine dust to settle in the tank (will it settle) before it becomes clean again? Or is there something else I should be doing?

Tanks are full

So the tanks are full, all of yesterday (and overnite) just a constant drizzle. So this backs up the 20 mm that we received on Thursday. It is good being on tank water as you can use the water how you like eg I can water the garden every day if I want.

What I find funny about water restrictions is that while they say people cannot water their garden each day, you can still waste water with a dishwasher or long showers, but water a vege/fruit producing garden everyday from town water and you’d be in trouble, something not right there. Also the Yass town water does taste fairly average, very calcium rich don’t recommend it

Anyway the reason for the post is that last nite my daughter went outside on on the decking and there she found a small frog, I ran to get the camera but no battery power. A frog, we could not believe it
