Continuing Drought

The dry continues, the bush is beginning to look stressed and it is difficult to keep the garden going.  Water restrictions are in place 6-8 am and pm on alternate days, we must keep to these restrictions as the lake level is low. It is possible to walk around the lake edge to Omori at present and the rocks on the Pukawa Point make a good fishing spot.
Speaking of fishing the Pukawa Stream has been fishing extremely well after dark.  If nightime fishing appeals you are sure to be rewarded.
Easter would be a good time to prepare for the invasion of rats and mice who move into buildings in the Autumn, mice are already being caught in houses.
The birds have gone quiet, little wonder in the heat. The highest temperature I recorded was 40 degrees with 38 degrees common, even yesterday it was 35 degrees but the nights are cooler and signs of Autumn are appearing.
