Thought Of The Week

I went to Kangaroo Point today. They've set up a one-stop flood victim centre where you can go and receive advice and government grants to help with food, clothing and basic necessities. When I went to the bank to cash the cheque I saw this sign and had a chuckle to myself.
I would have brought those bloody sheets in off the line for a start!

Over at Bron's place - her beautiful old wooden Queenslander home has become very bumpy...

And the froggy park where we have spent so many kids' parties and lazy afternoons looks a bit wonky...



The river itself is still really high and the colour of drinking chocolate...


But as life turns back to normal (or as normal as it can be amidst the rebuilding chaos) and the mud gets hosed off and scraped away, there are still reminders of what happened everywhere you go...

So sorry you have been flood damaged. We lost our car but the house escaped - even though there was a lot of damage in our suburb. We are in PNG and can't get back but our thoughts are with you. The people of PNG are all shocked and saddened. Be strong !!!

I'm so sorry to see the mess down there! Hoping for sunshine and a complete, quick cleanup effort!

I like the 'sheets' riposte. And the rest ...

I should think weariness has set in by now ... Tough, mighty tough.

Also a strong and clear message....
