Traffic lights - some working, some not. Police with white gloves oddly absent. Take your chances.
Trees - most up, some down, some with bits fallen off them.
Linen - stinking up the place with its dampness.
Lawns - green & growing as you watch.
Puddles - diminishing, but still to be found by small boys with new school shoes.
Freezers - empty after power losses. All defrosting food cooked up on BBQs (yes even in cyclonic winds) by panicking housewives.
Water - in short supply (WTF!) as the water treatment plant can't cope.
Swimming pools - green. Chuck in acid to combat alkilinity of rain water.
Internet - back on! Yay.
Temps - back up to 30', drying out the place & steaming up armpits.
oh hun.
ReplyDeletemeanwhile we are so far verra grateful that the largest fire in a 5 km radius has only required 9 trucks to bring it under control (so far)
Whats with this bluddy country.
When I was a Catholic kid there was some saint who was the patron of the weather. Perhaps if we all got religion and started praying things would return to normal.
Then again....
ps. So glad you're treading water, Bettsxxx
ReplyDeleteIs there a saint for election avoidance? I might have to become catholic too.
ReplyDeleteNah!
SEQ has had more than its share in past coupla years. shocking business all round :(

Damp Rid & ilk?
ReplyDeleteI reckon, like Teflon, they'll be discovered to be toxic by the year 2023 & men in asbestos suits will remove them.
