Looks like el nino is now official. Think I might get in early and get a whole lotta that brown dripper hose and throw it on timers.
With Melbs pop. growth since the millenium drought (3.5m ->5.2m)... and near zero new water capacity... If we get a repeat of that...
...you'll be ready to numb us to the pain of climate catastrophe with your home grown organically lobotomising chillos. Now with extra irrigation!
Last night I had my first climate change nightmare.
"it's going to get much colder and summers will be boiling"
Remember the 3 minute blue-sand hourglasses they mailed to everyone, to time our showers. I wish I had of kept mine lol
Edit: or were they 11 minutes? I think they were 3... ehh
I thought they were 2 minute timers haha
I dont even remember properly lol i was a late teen and just fiddled with the hourglass in the shower haha
Is that slang?
