The Drought is Broken - Almost

After all that rain the garden is going to need some attention. Weeds having been popping up everywhere. Our dam levels are at around 50% but we are going to keep the water restrictions for some time.

Enjoyed your pics of the Med Suzy, made a pleasant sunny change to the grey old days we have had fr the last couple of weeks. There is certainly ancient history every where you go in Europe. Nothing old here our history only goes back just over 200 years. The only ancient things are the aboriginal rock paintings found in caves and the like, they can go back thousands of years.

Here is the mango tree and a fine speciman it is how it survives this far south is surprising. We had a quite heavy morning frosts a couple of weeks back. There were heavy falls of snow up in the Blue Mountains which are about an hours drive west from us.

Looks like the MangoCam is not a goer, the camera crew have chickened out. They are scared stiff of the Brown's next door, who are getting a bit agitated about all the camera stuff, think they are being a perved on. The bloke who wrote that song "Mrs Brown you have a lovely daughter" seriously needed his eyes tested. It was one of the Beetles I think.

Was hoping to enlist Warren but the brown snake and blue tongued lizard experience knocked the stuffing out of him. He is convinced that there are tarantula spiders up the tree. A good guess, but they more than likely what are called huntsman spider, size of a saucer and perefectly harmless. They have a funny habit of hanging around over doorheads, scares the pup out of you it does.

Here are few more shots of the mango tree, it's laugh getting the fruit down. Yues gets this long stick and keeps giving them a prod till they fall. She then ducks for cover they splat on her head. I don't like them, reckon they taste like swampwater. Till next time, bye for now.
