Scenes of some of the flooding have been heartbreaking, though.  |

So glad you checked in to let us know how you and the family are doing.
that you are able to get to your new job on Monday.

My heart goes out to all those people in the world who are chased out of their homes due to flooding (because it's not only Australia, also Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have troubles with water)

Thank you for reminding me about this. I sometimes forget that this isn't just a problem in one area of the world.

Thanks, lene. I was trying to scroll back and forth on your other pics, but this was much more informative. It is amazing the height the water reached.
I feel for all the people that lost so much and then have to deal with the clean-up to come.
