Is an odd one. No frosts in the spring, no rain in June and a heatwave running from June to The mid July. Now we have had several very cold nights. Last night was worst so far, 5C. It is July! Luckily temperatures didn't drop below freezing, that would have been a bit too much!
We've been splitting and cutting wood, 3/8 stacks done. It's just so freaking hot during daytime, should be doing perhaps at night but hb has so poor vision in dim light that it's impossible.
And still no rain.
No rain means no mushrooms, no juicy berries but constant forest fire danger. And we do live in the middle of the woods... We still have water in the well, but this is happening like every other summer (no rain) so I've started to gather up ideas how to collect water during wet seasons. Australian have several solutions, but problem is they don't have to mind water freezing. Digging a pond might sound like a good idea, but it's not reliable one in the end. Old man thinks we have to get bore well, he wants to have one for heating purposes, one for the mansion for drinking water, and once the company is here it might just as well drill a home for us, too. It's just is't so expensive I can't afford it, something between 10 000€- 15 000€ minimum!
Oh well. It might happen anyway.
