The Great Flood - before and after.

 A study in pictures.

BEFORE.





AFTER.






Our planned farewell ceremony to Uncle Steve was a wash out and, instead of seeing him off, we concentrated our efforts on cleaning up the flood. Fortunately Steve's old friend Ian knew all about engineering and the pumping system on the property (which I didn't know about). What a guy! We were also saved by our two children Steph and George who did a wonderful clean up. What kids we have! 
It's back to work for me tomorrow. Easier work than cutting back huge blackberry bushes.


This is a toilet we rented for over $400
and only one person got to use it - an expensive dump!

Stop press: Robert and Sue both have Covid but, so far, seem to be surviving. Great news! I'm taking them toilet paper tomorrow. They said they wouldn't need the portaloo. Get well guys.

Ciao tutti.

That must have been soul destroying after the hard work you'd already put in.

'Que sera, sera' - oh, sorry, I remember that you were in 3G and did bookkeeping and geography instead of languages. Try this instead: Accounts payable less accounts receivable on a piece of land smaller than a continent that's surrounded by water.

I'm pleased to see that you've got on top of it and in good spirits.

It's a bummer about Robert and Sue getting Covid but - inevitable given those circumstances.
