Rain! Glorious rain!

I wasn't saying that yesterday when a thunder storm damaged some of my computer equipment but maybe we still needed more. There seems to have been quite a few wet days over the past couple of weeks.

Before that, it was very dry and we ran out of (12 barrels of) rain water for the irrigation. They are pretty full now. Perhaps next year well add another 4 or 8 (1/2 palette/full pallet - helps with delivery costs) into the system. If we go for 8, I'll probably add the small bed that runs the back of the house onto rainwater, leaving only the front of the house needing tap water.

Anyway, possible gardening task for me today is planting out some beetroot, lettuce and radish and starting some more salad seeds off

Think I'll probably try to finish my windmill (well it's motor driven - and I've written a small program on a PIC chip for it so it spins both ways and two speeds "randomly") off first though. And hope I don't snap another tap or drill bit getting the last fixing for the roof. Had a clumsy/bad day the other day and gave up in disgust...
