No, this is not a water storage


Progress on the foundations of our workshop have come to a halt, as can be seen from the picture, we have some issues to deal with, we have dug out one grain shed and workshop foundation so far. We have gone down to the gravel and will fill them back up with gravel so we have solid foundations to build on.
No big drama, we will just pump it out when the rains stop in about a month.
More rain this week, probably have had a total of 225mm on one part of our farming land while the other has had about 150mm(this is over the past month). On average (even though average does not exist in its pure form) we would expect another 100 to 150mm over the next 30 days. I am just about to drive over to our farm across the conservancy (about 8km) to see if there is any chance of planting later today. looks wet again later this week so I am very keen to get planting.
What we must remember is that once we hit June it is unlikely to rain and in July it almost never does.
