ummm - I'm a farmer. When I have a shower, it's because I *NEED* a
shower!!
I usually shave and wash my hair - got the whole thing down to about
four minutes, so yeah, I guess I wam (cross between was and am) being
generous. I should change it.

Of course, I realise Martians have less affinity with running water than
even the Poms, but that's beside the point.

I haven't had one for about a week as it happens; the bloody pump went
bang so we don't have any water to spare until it's fixed. On the up
side, we did get about 7mm of rain over the last few days.
Which is really bad for the wheat cockies; they're trying to reap what
little they have. NOt all that flash for us either; you can't pack wet
fruit.
