Well I suppose when I said Brisbane had a bad storm in my last post I MIGHT have understated things just a teeny tiny bit. Apparently it was, in some parts, as bad as a category two cyclone! Wow! I am so glad that we don't live in the impact area because those poor people where then hammered the following Wednesday by the worst downpour since the 1970's! Again we were lucky because although we got loads of rain and thunder we had no flooding (we live on the side of a hill!). And then another storm hit the next night and again we were lucky because we only had a bit of rain, some very tiny hail and LIGHTNING! omg was there some lightning I can't say I have seen that much for ages and ages and ages WOW! Was Mother nature chucking one great big tantrum! I was watching a TV special on the storms last night and I was honestly shocked at the level of destruction that people had experienced only suburbs away from us! I wish them all a speedy recovery process! The school year is w...

Wow such a busy day today. Bella and I went to church this morning as the year 6's were participating in the mass. It was soooo hot very early this morning, it seemed to leap from plesant to boiling in about 20 minutes - phew! When we got home hubby had made us bacon and eggs for brunch, which was really nice. Then my dear sweet husband decided he had had enough of our mangy old lounge room carpet and we were going to see what was under there - right now, today. Have I mentioned it was boiling today?? Yikes. Luckily (or unluckily if you were feeling as lazy as I was this morning) the floor boards under the mangy carpet were amazing so we spent the rest of the day moving furniture, throwing hacked-up carpet pieces and underlay over the veranda into the trailer, pulling up nails and staples, washing walls and vacuuming! All I need to do tomorrow is mop the floor, the lovely timber floor!Yay!. I'm not saying it doesn't need a going over by a professional but it certainly looks...

I feel bad because it's been a while since I blogged but I have had a very busy few weeks. The weekends have been full of family busy-ness and the weeks full of work. I have also avoided blogging until my dear step-dad had had his specialist appointment as I wanted to avoid worrying any family that might be reading my blog until I had more information. You see my step-dad was diagnosed with Prostate cancer three weeks ago and even though the prognosis is a good one in the circumstances, we have been a bit shell shocked. I was reluctant to post about it until I knew more about what was going to happen, but he saw his specialist today and he will be having surgery in the new year to remove the cancerous gland. At this stage there is no need for radiation treatment and should there be no problems with the surgery - all should be well. I have my fingers firmly crossed as I love that goofy man to bits. I know it's silly but I couldn't blog until I had more information about my S...
