Steve went out to the house today, with Dom and a bunch of his friends. They sandbagged and pumped for hours. We are so lucky to have these people looking after us. I'm scratching my head about how this works ----- In the case of a fire, there are professionals and professional volunteers who do the actual fighting to save a house. It must be different with floods ---- if it hadn't been for Dom and Steve and friends, the house would have been well and truly inundated by now.
There was a meeting in town today and it was said that the water will not peak at our house for another 2 days. Whaaaat????
Back steps ---- still 3 steps to go!
Going out our drive
Dom, with a pump, on the levee bank. Our house is behind the trees.
Steve's Uncle was 88 today. He's returning to his caravan tomorrow to survey the damage. We wanted to be there to help but I think we'll have to be looking after our place instead. We had hoped to go out to lunch with him today.
