And for all the well wishes, everyone.<br /><br />We're back now with power and running water and phones, and we can leave the property any time we want to get groceries. <br /><br />My thoughts are now with all the people who are still dealing with this weather, especially in Bundaberg. And the people in other parts of the country who are coping with the bushfires. Crazy times!<br /><br />Sharon, that clip with Rookie was so fabulous it brought tears to my eyes - am I turning into too big a softie...?Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-59254276376545055922013-01-31T18:00:46.219+11:002013-01-31T18:00:46.219+11:00Thanks, Kaelee!

And I can see in the rain gauge that we're up to 5 ml - very civilised compared to poor Queensland and the 500 mls and 900 mls that they've been getting in 24-hour periods!<br /><br />And Rachel now has electricity which is another fantastic development! So now they're busy cleaning up! I think they'll be pretty thrilled to be able to get water out of their taps!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-23549036556565611662013-01-31T17:56:53.257+11:002013-01-31T17:56:53.257+11:00LOL, Jo!

And unfortunately the fires haven't all been doused by the rains. The northeast of Austalia (Queensland and Northern NSW) is sodden and on flood watch. While the southeast of Oz is still as dry as a crisp and on fire watch. Would be nice to be able to spread that rain around, wouldn't it!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-71105005118504039112013-01-30T19:22:24.974+11:002013-01-30T19:22:24.974+11:00Isn't it, Michelle!

Fires have been primarily in NSW and further south. The cold change has made a difference to the fire situation here but there's localised flooding. Not your normal summer!<br /><br />Sharon, thanks for posting this terrific clip. Rookie was obviously having a ball - how wonderful to see the connection between the pair of them in this way.
