Hi : It is a hot and dry summer in Dreamland. At my place we have dry dams and dead or dying trees, but we still have wildlife asylum seekers from inlands areas (so things are much worse out there). The drought is affecting even electricity supply grid (we are on an Single Wire Earth Return System -- using earth as a return wire; when the ground is very dry, the earth resistance goes very high -- and the return circuit is broken --> no electricity!)
I hear the South is blessed with more rains this winter. So, farmers should look to good crops this year.
