Are you prepared for drought?

We were walking by the Trentabank Reservoir in Macclesfield Forest this morning and thought the same thing – it looked very low for mid May. We bumped into a United Utilities guy and asked him about it – he actually said that as it is so early there is still time for levels to rise again if we get some proper rain – but it’ll need to happen fairly soon.
The earth has shifted on its axis when it hasn’t rained in Macc.
The hot summer three years ago, I did my regular tour of festivals further south – everywhere parched – you could have set a match to a bog and it would have taken. Came home to the Northwest and as soon as you crossed the county line and Jodrell Bank hove into view – greenery.
It’s not rained round our way since February. Fortunately we have a water company that hasn’t had to impose restrictions since 1976, but this year is shaping up in a very similar way to that infamous summer. No rain on the horizon either which is troubling for farmers, and ultimately for everyone else.
I did my A levels in 1976. It was a very long hot summer.
No. I’m never prepared for anything. I am the Anti-Akela.
That’s odd. Most Akelas I’ve met were somebody’s anti.
Just dyb dyb.
Meanwhile, here in Brisbane it has rained virtually non stop for months. Mostly annoying drizzle with patches of very heavy downpour. I would guess that since last September, there have been more wet days here than in any other equivalent period in Brisbane’s history.

More rain in five months here than the last five years. We have a river running through the village for the first time in 20 years. The vines are growing a foot each day.
Dennis Howell will surely soon rise and walk among us once more
Have you done that Tigger? Seems to be a strange thing to have on your mind….
There was a brief period before I had access to hospital incinerators…
If you escape getting your collar felt, might be a good idea to invest in some pics. They’ll famously eat every scrap of anything
I think spellcheck has made your sentence a tad strange, pigs instead of pics. I believe teeth can be found afterward they’ve eaten though.
Teeth are tricky even in an incinerator. Best to smash them out of the mouth, grind them to dust and release them to the four winds.
Teeth can always be recycled: implant them into some gel and the edentulous will lap ’em out your hands.
Or they can make nice necklaces.

All very odd. Keeps doing this to me for some reason.
