Oh what a start...

I am back!!!
What a start to 2011. It truly has been the strangest...

The rain, the rain, oh and the rain...

Where were the swims, the balmy nights, the chirping crickets, the kids' laughter in the pool...

Then the floods. Oh the floods.

I didn't feel like blogging about interior 'wants' and 'bits and bobs' at all when so many have lost so much.

Although I am high and dry, it didn't feel right that five minutes down the road fellow Brisbane-ites were literally going under. Seeing my home town of Brisbane (and Central Qld where I spent several years) disappear under water was gut wrenching.

But the streets are slowly starting to clear due to Brisbane's wonderul mud army volunteers.

Oh what a site. I am so proud...

The city is slowly starting to come to life again.

One flood victim said in regards to his lost possessions

"Don't cry for things that can't cry for us"
I think I would still cry...



Oh, my beloved city
