Lurk lurk?

Hello, guys.
I just popped in to answer some Redfoot humidity questions elsewhere.
Love to everyone.

Yaaaay!!!!!! I should go ask some Redfoot questions just to have you here more often! Love back!

 

[Kristoff]

Seems I’m alone in the dark today. I’ll leave you for now with an important question:

(“How does a hen pee?”)
* Spotted by a friend at Goethe Institute in Kiev.
** The character with the camera is giving me creeps.

Good morning, Lena.
Yes, very weird and rather spooky.
I wonder what goes on in some peoples minds.
Come to think of it I wonder what's going on in mine quite a lot.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good morning, Roommates!
Have a terrific Tuesday everybody!

 

[Moozillion]

Tuesday is my busy day- even moreso with this afternoon’s vet appointment.
So I’m just popping in to say “Hi!” and “Bye!”
Not see you all later- hope you have a great day! [emoji8]

 

[JoesMum]

Good afternoon all. I’m just back from having my hair cut. I was able to buy some daffodils today. They always cheer me as they remind me that spring isn’t far off.

Good afternoon, Bea!
Have a good day and good luck at the vets!
I'll be thinking about this all afternoon.

Good afternoon, Linda.
Lovely daffs.
Yes, it's getting pretty serious in Cape Town.
Let's all hope they get much needed rain very soon.

It makes me sad that Ed is finding new homes for his tortoises.

That's a pretty dumb headline. How can declaring a disaster zone "stave off" a drought? I thought only the addition of water could accomplish that.

With the declaration of a disaster zone, laws can easily be passed to force things like water rationing and water usage restrictions.

Me, too, i'm worried we might lose a good friend and it's just so sad.
And a great contributor to the forum as a whole.

I think they're trying to make the government admit there is a very serious problem. It seems the situation has been politically ignored ... possibly corruptly ... for too long I had better stop there... we sympathise about the lack of water, but can't discuss politics here

Good morning, Ken!
Hope you are well.

I thought they already had restrictions in place?

 

[Bambam1989]

Off I go to grocery shop... Wish me luck, you would think people here would have learned how to drive in the rain by now..

 

[JoesMum]

Restrictions are only useful if everyone obeys them... which they may not be...
You know. The people who have mysteriously green lawns despite the restrictions. The businesses that ignore restrictions because they’re unmetered and who’s going to know?

And without rain the water supply will still dry up completely even if everyone does behave. They’ve had no rain. The infrastructure is weak; it leaks and it’s not been maintained to serve the ever increasing population.
