Doh!

Two unfortunate events have occurred in the last week :(

First we lost our chick, don't know what happened it just disappeared and this led to Floss abandoning the nest :( Luckily another chicken has stepped in but we haven't had anymore hatchings yet....

Secondly, we went from this

to this

after a huge deluge of rain. 1100 litres down the drain :(

Very disappointed...

It would seem that the culprit was the middle support post which sunk into the ground! John had used the sledgehammer to put it in and it was solid but the volume of rain obviously softened the ground so much that the support post sunk.

It would seem that where the location of the dog shed is the main runoff route across the property.

Oh well, lesson learnt! It's just a shame about the tank and the water....

This is how much rain we had, it's like this all over the block...
