TheBanyanTree: A Comedy of Errors - Part the Second

[Roger Pye]

Oh Dumpy Mum wot a funtastic piccy, I shall print it out 'n' hang it on the 
wall 4 all 2 admire!!

Glad you enjoyed the trip if a little damp when you arrived - pity you 
didn't stay until Saturday, you could have experienced Canberra's first 
torrential downpour in seven years! As we did at farmer's market and 
afterwards. Re the drought - it would have to rain like that for the 
traditional 40 days and 40 nights to remove the dreaded water restrictions.

This was really weird  cuz Canberra has been under severe water restrictions for years, due to drought...in fact it has been so bad that folks were only allowed to drink powdered water.
