It's that time of year

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Drought. It's not official but everything is brown. And the only way of keeping plants alive now is to keep a bucket in the kitchen.

All water from the washing up and any veg cleaning is now being diverted to the flowers and garden. Clean water can go on the grapes, herbs and any other stuff we eat, the soapy stuff onto the flowers only.

We are in our rainy season....

We've had so little rain since September...

How we made it to 50mm for the entire month is beyond me but 5cm, 2 inches for the entire month of January it is.

We're supposedly in the dry season (started at the beginning of December) but it's rained at least half a dozen times this month, which is weird. Yesterday, it pelted down in the morning - which meant I either had to drive with the windows closed, and risk the windscreen fogging up (the air conditioning got damaged ) or drive with one window open and get wet!

I've got a window that doesn't go up all the way so every now and then I get a free interior wash at the auto spa when I forget to push it up...

I had a car once that leaked at the roof, driver's side.
So whenever it rained, it was a toss up
Do I use my raincoat to cover the seat and get wet outside, or I stay dry outside, but will have to sit on a soaking wet car seat.
I generally opted to keep the seat dry
