Oh… wait.
No, I think I got that wrong. Cause it’s Australia where we always worry about water… and hot weather… and bushfire potential.
But I have seen multiple warnings recently from communities in Austria, urging people to use less water because they are running out. Our local fire brigade issued an alert on smoking and fires in forested areas, again due to the drought and fire potential.
I mean, we’re not yet being asked to water on alternate days, or limit shower times, or even ‘shower with a friend’, but still. When I moved here I thought, well at least I won’t have to worry about that… in the lushness of Austria, where there is PLENTY of water (right?). But even I have to admit that it’s too hot, it’s too dry, and it just doesn’t feel right.
On the positive side, I am, at least, well versed in water saving strategies. I can handle two-minute showers. I can put a bucket in there to flush the toilet. Getting my toddler to save water though, well that’s another story, but I’ll do what I can!

Like you I thought you would not have to think about those things. Snow is something I hope we never get, but who knows what will happen next. All we can do is our best to help the world we live in and be nice to the people who live in it.
