The plane was more than 30 minutes late due to the weather, but the family arrived safe and sound and we delivered them to their door in the same condition, before heading back home ourselves.
The weather was not nice and it was a 'longer than usual' drive home, but I got to experiment with some night photography on the way and I liked the added effect of the rain with the lights.
Luckily for us, the REALLY heavy rain waited until we arrived home before coming down. When we checked the rain gauge this morning, it had 90 ml in it. Others in town had 100 and 120 ml! Maryborough had 200 ml!
There are floods all over NSW and QLD right now. My old stamping ground is suffering badly and people have been evacuated from their homes. They are expecting the worst by 10 o'clock tonight, but then again there is more rain forecast, so the worst could yet come after that.
You are all in my thoughts and I wish there was something more that I could do from this distance. I can't imagine the frustration and despair you must be feeling.
On a happier note, the lovely Win had a birthday today and celebrated her 89th year on this earth.
We had a lovely morning tea with her after she had spent the morning at craft.

We've saved the candles to use at her 98th birthday :o)
I didn't get out to Serenia Beach as planned this morning because it was too wet, so I don't have a photo of the magnificent white and grey eagle that I'd hoped to share with you today. If the forecast is correct, then I won't have it tomorrow either - fingers crossed the forecast is wrong!
We would like the rain to go away for a while because it's already wetter than wet ... and that's wet enough!
Nite all.
