Late night for me last night - LandSAR exercise, bringing a stretcher with a mock patient out from up a river. Out in the dark, lots of river crossings - great fun but a bit late for a school night! Zzzzz
Aww Cheers. It's a fun group to be part of. I'm part of NZ CaveSAR as well - they are a seriously impressive group of people. I'm always left in awe whenever I'm around them. Fearless.
This drought on the east coast of the far north is getting quite bad now. I really need to sort more irrigation lines out for next year so we're not spending an hour hand watering every evening. On the plus side, even the kikuyu has stopped growing so I don't have to mow as much as I usually do in summer.
Swales are great! But I have 6ha and just building them would be massively expensive at this scale. I would like to add some to our food forest area though.
Damn really? I'm a bit further down and we're looking greener than we usually do at this time of year. Next time I see rainclouds I'll tell them to head up to you.
Back to work, ho hum. I thought I'd catch up, instead I had a 2.5 hour morning workshop and a 2 hour afternoon workshop and an hour meeting after that and now my brain is nope.
By "swim" I mean float around vaguely in the ocean. I saw an big fish jump straight up into the air quite close to me.
Like, it wasn't just a silver blur like they usually are. There was a moment at the height of the jump where I could see all the details of the fish (eye, mouth, fins, scale pattern).
