It's been weird weather at the moment, drove down south last week thinking it would be sunny (hello, middle of summer!) and we got two days of rain. Pretty flower mosaic. I wish we could be as water efficient as you are.<BR/><BR/>xx Cat.Catriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384022854391690928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-14494439784937835732008-01-19T11:28:00.000+11:002008-01-19T11:28:00.000+11:00I was watching a movie last night and the guy turn...I was watching a movie last night and the guy turned the shower on and JUST LET IT RUN while he had a romantic scene with the girl and I was in agony, watching the waste!

Is that hydrangea I see? They can be fairly tough in the right spot, but ours does need water (from washing machine) at the moment. Is there also a Just Joey rose too?<BR/>Thanks too for the nice words re quilt and kissy photos - we plan to go out to the city, see a show, drink a bit, eat a bit and kiss alot!Bronwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949924320993338258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-1038988026769684652008-01-18T10:40:00.000+11:002008-01-18T10:40:00.000+11:00Jodie, you're doing a great job with your water, a...Jodie, you're doing a great job with your water, and I just LOVE Barry.

We can water on Sundays between 6-9am or 5-8pm. But we use a lot of rainwater from our tank and the washing water too. We even put the cooking water on the garden!We need another tank(though it would be standing empty now!)
