Water…
As Melburnians are getting ready for stage three water restrictions, I shall review the impact of drought:
- Food prices increase.
- Water shortages mean that I therefore cannot have long showers. (I used to have 20 minute long showers 5-6 years ago, now shortened to 5 minutes).
- I cannot wash my car with a hose
- I cannot enjoy my garden - the lawn is becoming yellow
- I can use it as an excuse for not doing the dishes and not doing the laundry
- Daddy talks me into environmentalism.. Sometimes I wish he could shut up about it..
- My fear for drinking treated effluent grows..
- My desire for a rainy day grows stronger each day. Dreaming of the freak storm in Feb, 2005.
- Hopefully this would generate more jobs for grad envscis like me. But it may also mean more competition for jobs. Sigh….
