Hi rashelle,
Just wondering how you're doing there?

Moving out of Australia? No way. Well, they haven't told us that anyway.
Maybe things like this will happen in some 3rd world areas though as the years of famine and drought and continue.

Yes, we do have water problems. Only because politicians have their head in the sand and if they'd actually "thought" years ago we wouldn't be quite in the position we're in now. We have the most amazing resources here, wind, ocean etc., but almost as it's too late they're finally getting the message that it's time to do something. The climate certainly has changed but we've been wasting water for so long it's unbelievable. We're all way overdue here for a reassessment of the way we live. Gosh, it could be so horribly worse. Imagine. We could live in many areas of Africa or Indonesia or so many other places. We are doing it very well where I am.

rashelle, I hope you keep trying with that respite service. Even just a few hours a week at the least would give you time to get some you time.
