I am used to our driveway flooding when it rains quite heavily. What I am not used to is the rest of the suburb trying to be underwater. The intersection down at Barrington mall was completely underwater and going up people's driveways. It was setting off car alarms and making waves whenever cars turned corners. The power at the supermarket went off, leaving us all in the dark for a moment before the generators kicked in and gave us back half the lights, leaving the crowded aisles feeling a little pre-apocalyptic.

My feet? So wet and cold. Knee high boots cannot protect you when they have a hole in one sole and zippers up the side :( Our front deck is white with hail and we have a moat, but that isn't so bad as it will keep the Mormon door knockers at bay.

Soon there will be lasagne. Lasagne is the path of goodness in wet weather.

All dry now! :)

I'm glad we decided to leave your place when we did, or else we would have been caught out in it.

Water levels at our place got high enough to flood the garage. That never happened before.

The neighbours said their garage flooded as well. Madness.

Don't worry, I experienced the storm enough for the both of us, I was actually out in the hail, rain and lightening. Then when I decided to leave the safety of my shelter it decided to hail harder than before, that was great. It was fun tho, wading through knee high puddles tho.

Poor Jenny-wren! I saw the hail that happened two weeks ago tho, when it bucketed down, so if it was on a scale with that then I know what it would have looked like. It's funny, we have lovely weather and then BOOM, summer storm. Heh. But knee-high puddles? That's mental!

Yeah, sounds like we were the only area of chch so badly effected. We got the crazy heat the other week and now we got the crazy flooding!

Well two weeks ago there was a massive hail storm and then a few days later intense heat, so it could be doing the same thing again...

Water Water Every Where and Not a Drop To Drink.
Well, not that you would want to drink stuff flying up the road, you'd be asking for a trip to the hospital.
We are having a drought over here in Tassy so do a rain dance and send it our way,. like the king said. 'thank you very much',
This is actually a post about dress making. Havn't you heard of heming tape? 10 minutes and its done. And If you do it properly it won't come down and trip you up when you have had too much vino and your dancing around like a mad thing. from Sage

I know exactly what your talking about! Watched the horriblest jobs in history on the ABC to do with felt making. Its not surprising that there is so much cancer around its passed down through our genes from ancesters poisening themselves on a daily basisthrough their jobs. A large percentage of our folks in the 1750 to 1800 where felt makers in England. Found this though the census of that time.
