Munchkin's musings

A few people have asked with concern about my situation, and I want everyone to know that I am not at risk.

Deception Bay is about half an hour north of Brisbane and well away from Wivenhoe Dam's run-off zone. We are far enough back for tomorrow's king tide not to effect us, and as of today we only have one road closure (mainly because that road is low-lying) even though it has been pelting down here since last week.

Areas around me are being effected, with Caboolture to the immediate north now completely cut off, and Burpengary, Strathpine and its surrounds experiencing flooding and/or isolation.

I am a veteran of the '74 floods and my thoughts are with Brisbane over the next couple of days, and my heart goes out to everyone in Toowomba, its surrounds and everyone who has already been effected by the flooding. Donations can be made here.

*falls over laughing*

Thank you to elysium1996 and mercilynn for the virtual balloons!!!!

Thank you, mustangcandi and angeliksmall, for your Christmas cards! They both arrived on Friday, and are two entirely different cards. *g* Candi's was rude crude and hysterical while angeliksmall's was a lovely Christmas Kitten card. Which pretty much sums up how loony our little group is... *veg*

And forcryinoutloud! Your gift of Lorne!icons was wonderful. Am still drooling... *happy leer*

Thank you to the folk who have sent me Christmas cards... paraka for the wee santa for a wee munchkin *g*, kukalaka for the Advent card (I'm having fun opening the days) and to enname for what looks to be a very elegant hand-made card!

They are all lovely! Thank you! *hugs*

And... Rain!!! The cat is back in the wardrobe, it is thundering overhead, raining outside, and there is a flooding advisory for folk to watch out for low lying areas.

This will hopefully dump more water in our dams. I just hope we don't get anything like the storm that Sydney got yesterday! *nods*
