Some side streets had sodden furniture standing outside and my dentist had 2 feet of water in his surgeries last friday and is now waiting for the stinking carpets to be taken away and the inside of the surgeries gutted and redone.<br /><br />Hi Chic, thanks for your thoughts.<br /><br />Hi Zarina I can understand your fears, soon houses will be valuable if they can have a sign on them ..no flood danger here.<br />Great that you have bonsai too.<br /><br />Hi Carol, Thanks for wanting to see more pottery.<br /><br />Thanks Rayanna, I could get lost for a day in that shop, we love all things Beary!Tatskoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282750261031558615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-71449735559514822742009-11-23T19:45:48.933+00:002009-11-23T19:45:48.933+00:00Hi:

Malaysia is now receiving so much rain that certain states are flooded again and again (thankfully I am quite shielded but still receiving rain). My bonsais and cactus I have put them in the open covered garage (meaning only one wall and roof). I know how it means to lose those bonsais because it takes ages to see any progress from them.zarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892508367397250702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-69791359606895443732009-11-23T05:08:39.207+00:002009-11-23T05:08:39.207+00:00I'm glad you live on a hill, too!

We are wondering how the city will have recovered when we go in on tuesday.<br /><br />Hi Bev, you are so right, It must be terrible to live in a flood zone, you sound well protected.<br />The fun day was the best one I have ever been to...just goes to show..<br /><br />Hi Maureen, we are used to seeing your weather on our news, don't expect it to be the other way round!<br /><br />Hi Gina, she was lucky to miss it all, she must not have been in the south or west...the rest of the country escaped this time.<br />Not sure life will run smoothly tho' as this is a sign of changing weather patterns. It's such a shame as the county council have made such improvements in drainage in recent years, minor flooding has always been a problem with high tides and strong winds.Tatskoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282750261031558615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-74774569440923865462009-11-22T23:11:15.760+00:002009-11-22T23:11:15.760+00:00My sister was home on Thursday and they did not ex...My sister was home on Thursday and they did not experience any of the bad rain before they left but they heard about it later. Last year it was Australia that had so much rain, unheard of, and now Ireland. I know it will all settle down eventually and life will run smoothly again.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-40768204925251568342009-11-22T22:44:01.161+00:002009-11-22T22:44:01.161+00:00We've seen your floods on the news - they say ...We've seen your floods on the news - they say it is the worst for hundreds of years. How miserable at Christmastime.<br />In 1974 the Brisbane River flooded with devastating consequences for this city - two old uncles used to live here then, so we saw how badly they were affected. When the time came for us to move,I made sure we were nowhere near a river!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-38460212196011776732009-11-22T22:10:14.935+00:002009-11-22T22:10:14.935+00:00One of the remarks on the deed to our house is; &q...One of the remarks on the deed to our house is; "Not in a Flood Zone" We have a natural stream bed on the west side but it runs north to south down the mountain; and never runs much water. Having lost a home in 1997 to a flood; I'm particularly flood-conscious. We did put a stone wall at the bottom of the ridge to insure that we didn't loose soil to the road below. The property itself is set on granite rock!<br />I empathize with those who fight flood waters and do the recovery from them. It can be just devastating, expensive and time consuming to rebuild! <br />I'm glad you are safely on the high side. I'd love to see the brownies turkeys, be sure to give us a picture. You will be glad you went after you do go, as sometimes just the 'thought' of 'having to. . .'<br />turns one off. <br />hugs, BevRidgewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-86856180074758322022009-11-22T17:36:58.878+00:002009-11-22T17:36:58.878+00:00I'm sorry for all the devastation in your area...I'm sorry for all the devastation in your area. You are fortunate to live on a hill and to have been making drainage improvements. I've been looking at your trees and pots - SO pretty! I'm glad the trees appear to be well and that you didn't lose more pots. I hope the weather breaks for you and things can be put to rights soon!<br /><br />:) Annsewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.com
