Wishing you a speedy recovery Mon :-x and hope you are back to being able to use both hands very soon. Take it easy and don't overdo anything. It's your turn to be waited on. :^O
Well we have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous weather-wise !! After all that wind & wet with approx 335mm since Thursday night in our rain gauge, we woke to a day that was sunny, very still and very humid at 32ยบ. Rivers are still rising, so many roads will remain impassable for quite a while and many are damaged. Local shops have power back too. Our water tank & dam are in overflow and the grass has greened up.
I count my blessings โฅโฅ
Spoke with Wilma this morning. ๐ ๐ :_|
The house and nearly everything inside including their 2 cars has gone under. She said they woke to voices outside & "SPLOSH" ankle deep water & mud through the house and one very nervous "small dog". Apparently couldn't get through to the SES, rang a friend who turned up quickly with mates in a boat to ferry them out with what they could carry. They did manage to get their own boat out of the shed and pack it with SOME things, ie computer gear, Neil's arsenal ( WARNING TO LOOTERS !! HE WILL USE IT ) but essentially didn't get time to do too much. She put her Mum's wooden canteen of cutlery on top of the dining table, their leather lounges on the bed, grabbed the contents of the safe, some clothes, necessary medications and waded out. When they left the water had risen to just under the dining table.
Wilma is in good spirits considering........ already called Insurance Co and now waiting for water to recede ( whenever that will be?? ) so assessment of claim can be done - that is IF they are able to claim? Not sure yet.
She is MAJORLY peeeeed off that her new oven had hardly been used and - as she said with a chuckle - " what a way to get a new bathroom and kitchen !! " :^O
