At last the drought is broken !

Rain dancers you can finally get a night's rest ! After all those nights soaking up the sun on extended daylight saving hours your antics have finally worked. The view over the inlet today is once again that of windy, misty rain - hooray.

It means....kids can splosh in puddles....adults can cease sneeking out after midnight to water the tomatoes.....and those who collect rainwater to live on can stop paying out for tanker water (well for a bit).

So what do we need to learn about the great dry of the last 5 months ?

We must accept that up there in the weather control department things are a changing, that new homes need to be built with roofs suitable for storing additional water, and learning finally from Kapiti Coast new homes must be built with grey water recycle systems.

Hopefully some of these very practical matters can be leveraged through Parliament as we approach the electoral silly season !
