    It’s been a nice end to the week
    Picked up my car from the paint shop - they did a great job fixing a few minor blemishes
    Lovely Gullwing Mercedes in for a nose job
    Drinks and a snack at a friends place around the corner was meant to be a 30 minutes visit with a couple of bevvies
    Many drinks later and I have just arrived home all primed for a good night of snoring - poor Sarah

    I hope Pat is ok too, I know he's had problems with run off previously. I've seen the Gold Coast hinterland is getting flogged!!!

    Just scraped through - 200mm this morning. Luckily, the drains were clear, and we put a duck board across the pool gate, so the water builds up on the other side of the wall. The water that leaks through I madly sweep down a drain with a road broom - managed to save the pool, and the water lapped the front door, but didn't come in. From what I hear, we should be worried about Adrian.

    Good luck with it Adrian...The river is supposed to peak at 12 meters plus...I think the new bridge just by Macquarie Park where we meet for our Whomo drives is totally underwater...

    Cheers Pat, we’re holding our breath, its all new to us, the nepean river has been high before but it stopped being a novelty around 2pm this afternoon when the surrounding parks and bbq areas completely disappeared and this evening whole streets are going.:(

    Thats good to hear, I remember you telling of the red mess you had a few years ago. I looked at the National radar yesterday and the rain was all up the east coast and into Victoria!!
    All thoughts now with Adrian.

    Sincere best wishes to everyone affected by the floods... jeez, if the apocalypse is coming I wish it’d just get in with it (droughts, fires, disease, floods...) this loopy world where nothing can be planned is driving me crazy!
