It's interesting going to CDS machines in different socio-economic areas.
In Brunswick I'm just straight in and out. Meanwhile in Geelong (Bell Post Hill), I have to wait for a few people to empty their caged trailers.
Does anyone try to keep their lawn alive during dry periods in summer? Any green areas of mine are slowly disappearing. I really should put a sprinkler on. But you have to do it consistently, and I’m too lazy. Looking around my neighbourhood, most people choose the let it die path.
I have a few pot plants I water, and there’s a bit of a green patch where the run off goes in the lawn. Makes it more obvious how dead the rest is. I remember the drought restrictions when watering lawns was not allowed, and I still feel bad to do it. So the grass will just have to go yellow and wait for rain.
It's not just lack of water that can kill a lawn, strong sun can burn it. Choose a tough grass.
Most of mines was doing ok with all the additional rain, but we did mow it a bit short accidentally last time and it’s struggling a bit now. I’m just throwing some water around hoping it comes back ok
There's nothing quite like a big cup of ice cold high quality water.
I have peeled a giant lump of skin off my lip. It hurts. Wibble!
I've been working my way through hot washing and drying everything hanging in the wardrobe and sealing non-washables in plastic bags, but not through it yet. Both the time doing this and my energy are a bottleneck. And still seeing the occasional moths in both kitchen and room...
Moths are attracted to light though. I actually wonder if that mozzie zapper might work for moths.
Edit: Google says yeah. I've popped that on without the lure, which I'm saving for when a bunch of mozzies get in. Actual moth traps are in the wardrobes and kitchen but don't seem to be catching all of them. I'm still mystified about how the infestation got in
