Water, water everywhere...

Bugger, bugger, bugger...

It is now Friday, and I am now on to my 3rd day without Foxtel, my computer, or broadband access. I think I am dying!!! Or maybe I just wish I was...

To take you back to the start of this... storms started late last week, with a beautie last Sunday which culminated in ts5000 watching a tornado pass over her house like a jet plane and then whallop a house further down before taking out a timber yard across the road. We don't do tornadoes around here!!

More storms the next few days, with the southside of Brisbane at one time resembling a winter wonderland (in summer) due to the hail. Then Tuesday night came. The rains came... and came... and came... culminating in the rain coming in my villa. Through the closed front door, through the closed garage, and into my front loungroom. Fortunately my furniture is on legs, including my computer/tv table, so no damage was done. But the carpet had been deaded. As has the carpet in my linen closet in the hallway, which got water which leeched through the rear wall of the garage!

So I am now on day 3 of the sweet sounds of industrial blowers trying to dry my front room and hallway, the cat is hiding under my bed, I can't turn the blowers off until tomorrow, and there is more rain expected tonight, tomorrow, a break on Sunday (time to brunch), then is expected to start up again on Monday.

So I can expect to have all my loungeroom furniture sitting in my dining room for another few days, the drone of the blowers for another 24 hrs, and the uncertainty of more rain.

Thank god for ts5000's laptop and for dial-up access. But the torture of all those stories and posts to read and comment on, but having to pace myself as we are talking 31kb connection here, and no email!!!

And the cat is still under the bed. The sky looks awful.

I love summer...
