The deluge

I am still marking but as the last ten assignments I am going to mark this year are late, I can watch Poirot tonight and post a few photos on my blog.

I have, as usual, been busy apart from the marking. I am making another wedding cake this year, so, along with my own Christmas cake, I have need of 4.6 kilos of dried fruit. It is all, now, getting thoroughly drunk on brandy and rum in enormous green jars.


Bethany went to the school disco.


She and Jossie chose new pyjamas - one of the two was more pleased than the other to be twins.

Of course, the big news around Wagga has been the flood. On Friday night, after dropping our younger children at the school disco, Narelle and I drove down to Wagga beach before dropping the elder kids at kids' club. The river covered all of the beach and we were most impressed. As it happens, that was nothing. The very next day the entire BBQ area and carpark were completely submerged. The beach is on the other side of those trees.


This is the caravan park. You can see a tiny cabin in the distance.


The majority of the cabins were towed up the hill.


You can see the playground in this one.


Now can we say the drought is over?

  1. I think you can! Remembering all the while, Dorothea Mackeller's poem - wise words about Australia's weather!
