Overall it sums things up quite well and is a rallying call for personal action.

This just makes me angry

Lot of areas are not that bad, but quickly running out of moisture. No rain forecast here for 2 weeks and we are not even in spring yet.
We actually have some off allocation water from high flows in the Ovens river meaning there is more water in the Murray than needed. Canola is taking over 1 ML/ha and hopefully now has enough moisture to get through.

I’m pretty sure it’s going to escalate rapidly before long.
My town is in Calderdale council although we are on the very edge of it but we also boundary the rochdale district along with the Pendal and nelson and more or less the Blackburn with Darwin all of which are in the sh1!s at the moment with new cases. Lots of folk and businesses around here clenching there assess very tight for the near future

I went to a bit of a barn party last weekend for a 60th (the wife of one of the most famous slaughter men in the horse meat scandal a few years back). Looks ok here with distancing but it wasn't a couple of hours later.

I’ve had many entertaining dealings with Pete over the years. A Good bloke
I’ll bet that was a good ‘do’ despite the current situation. 👍

Ooh,traditional Dutch barn with lean to,like the rolled steelwork.

Gone a bit OTT on the roof purlins?
Completely mentally OTT but they said you aren't allowed to use bits of rusted through angle iron these days, no idea why not because they don't fall down.
The upside is that if Class Q still exists in years to come they cannot possibly argue against it being structurally sound. :D
Wait til you see the other shed I am building, it is bloody gorgeous! Will put some pics up once the slates (yes, slates!) are on and the scaffold down. :cool:

There is a striking similarity between China's recent conduct in the sth China sea and a certain German regime from 90 years ago. How you can become "leader for life " in a "peoples" government is unsettling to say the least. I for one wont be surprised if they dont end up testing themselves against the US.
And I'm not sure which side would "win" :oops:

The technology is no longer heavily in favor of the USA and the troop numbers clearly aren't!
