G'day David
Was wondering how you were going...I think we are the only two people in
this area who frequent this group? I'm never one to complain about rain
but gee it's getting hard to resist...hasn't it tumbled down?
I had to phone the SES yesterday because after a horrendous downpour
around 8am (which had to be have been several inches) water was coming
through a bedroom ceiling. 'Never' had this happen before and I've been
in this house for almost 16 yrs. The intersection where I live was
underwater with water level at car headlight height and I am listening
to the ocean as I type and it's still roaring.
One day we'll see the sun again!! ....maybe!!
Bronwyn ;-)
