I never could work for city hall, I would develop heart problems LOL<br />Too bad that they don't store water in your country, and not in other rainy countries either, such as Holland, Scandinavic countries, etc. Here, in the US when they get desperate, one state may buy/borrow water from another state.<br />It's okay Catharine, I don't think anything of the frequency of comments as an indicator of some sort.

I thought you would be punished if you used water in dry times, and we don't have water charges here yet on domestic water, only farms and businesses. So there is a lot of waste I think, though we have lots of rain it is not stored as a resource that it could be. I like your protest at the authority's intransigence. <br />Take care, haven't been commenting much lately as it is very busy but I posted some nice photos of a trip last Sat. and of the conference I attended. <br />Regards, CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150709497057343898.post-71021638112036758232009-05-15T12:41:00.000-07:002009-05-15T12:41:00.000-07:00Funny combination of ZEN meets Eigenheim ?
