1. Level 5 water restrictions means only 4 minute showers. I have contemplated on more than one occasion, going without bathing for 8 days so I can have a wonderful 30 minute shower. DON’T JUDGE ME!
2. On wash days, I pray it DOESN’T rain.
3. I am a nuisance caller and professional complainer. Well I’m pretty sure the Brisbane City Council thinks so. So far I have rung THREE times about my vegetation officer’s visit and once about some possible termite nests in the park near me. I have called when I thought there was a problem with my bill (there WASN’T, apparently). Whenever I tell the help desk person my name, he or she will always say in a knowing tone, “Oh yes….. Tasmiya….” WELL I PAY MY RATES..DON’T JUDGE ME etc etc.
4. I thought Jim Soorley was a pretty good mayor.
Australia sounds like an interesting place to live. Vegetation officer? What’s up with that?
I take it there’s a major drought there? How would they know if you took a shower that was longer than 5 minutes exactly?
Oh I love my vegetation officer. He visits to make sure my street doesn’t have any overhanging branches that obstruct traffic and pedestrians. Well, he will only visit if I give the Council office a call.
There is a major drought here in this city. Other parts of the country are enjoying record breaking rainfall. Our city (Brisbane) is down to about 25% dam levels. Damn those dam levels *guffaw*
At the moment, there are no penalties for excessive water usage although the BCC have been sending “please explain” letters to those who have large water bills.
Nobody will know I am taking long showers. Except for my conscience.
Ok Aussie Mama, you are tagged
Take a shower with your baby so that you can have 4 mins x 2 = 8 mins shower. I do that sometimes!
Suroor – working on it
Thanks for thinking of me.
Umm-fi-Ard – My little one is scared of the shower
