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 ;-)



Where's 'here'? I'm in Newcastle and my back yard is virtually flowing
down the block and out onto the street! All the local canals and drains
have risen level with their banks and if it doesn't clear up soon, we'll
have a repeat of the floods we suffered last year! Yick!

Not to belittle your ceiling problem, but it's been raining in my back
room for a week now. Three buckets and a very nasty feeling when
raindrops keep falling on my head as I type this! We have a tin roof, so
of course the rain manages to blow itself forcibly underneath to pool on
the ceilings. Yes, the sound of rain on a tin roof can be charming, but
not the way it's been lately. They're predicting sun for the end of next
week, which is good: local Scouts are having their Aviation Activities
weekend.

We hope...
