Bit of a mad rush to get the lucerne watered with enough time to drain off before it gets cooked....

when donald trump stopped flights from china to the usa the upraor from the liberals was deafening
the only thing trump was right on was shutting the border
but even he was too late
to be effective the ban on travel would have have to be mid jan at the latest
but it would have only reduced the first wave
the history of pandemics is that they come in waves the only way to stop them is immunity
only needs one case in an unlocked region for it to explode
even in australia it took a 4 month lock down to control it
in normal times over a million people a week arrive in the uk stopping that quick enough is impossible
the uk doesnot have enough police to police a full lockdown 100%
90% is not enough to stop with out a 4 month lockdown

All true and all reasons why the big one, when it comes, will collapse us.
Covid 19 is NOT the big one the epidemiologists have been warning about for decades, it's mortality is not nearly high enough. The new British variant probably fits the description for transmissability though.

Yeah great. Giving retailers more marketing power with a product that goes from 5 days shelf life to 60. Absolutely wonderful for domestic sales Another nail in the coffin......Or am I being to cynical.....

Some severe flooding going on here today. Not severe like Australia floods in the same way our droughts don't compare but there are people that can't get home and houses full of water.
Shitloads of water everywhere!

I thought you'd be getting more than us.
All roads into nearest village are closed, main roads closing now.
At my old place there is a stream in a deep cut, in the last 50 years I have seen water over the road twice today is the third time!

It's about this time of year when I jet off for a bit of your sunshine and have been thinking about it a bit lately. Could just do with a bit of warmth and sunshine but having said that I honestly wouldn't want to swap.
I am living in a static still as my house slowly gets done up. Plasterers finally finished today, few days drying and the painters can finish off. Then just the fitting out to do, slow job due to covid and everywhere shut but ticking along slowly.
Really looking forward to having the fire lit and sitting in a nice warm house. For now I am very grateful that I am in my own place and don't need wellies indoors, there are quite a few that can't say that right now.
I can hear the tractors on the slurry pumps even now (10:10 pm) and they are pumping floods not slurry, must be a mile or so away from here. Local village has flooded badly in places, teachers are having to spend the night at the school as roads home are closed/flooded. Tractors out dragging stranded cars etc. A bit of a mess out there.

Come to think of it they may be pumping slurry. They were yesterday and it was almost as sodden then.

Sorghum
Has a great fibrous root system, one of the agronomic benefits of it.
The roots would be well down below a metre
