We are still waiting for the work to start around here, after everything stopped following my little tantrum. So my tiny flat still looks like a potting shed with plants and deck furniture crammed in. I look around the chaos and think - at least you have power woman!
So I have got a fair bit done in the garden, inside being so unfriendly, outside at least has space to breathe, and the results of the short bursts of weeding and tidying certainly show, makes me quite proud of myself!
Today a bit of vegie shopping is on the agenda, and a pick up trip to the library. Funny the way reserves mount up if I have a 2am wake up session on their website, lol...
One of our locals is a civil engineer whose expertise is in waterways. He posted a link to the council maps of flow paths and ancient streams and I spent a fascinated hour or so exploring our street and learning how the storm water pathways work. Even a small fence or shed in the wrong place can cause issues, so these maps are vital bits of information that should be more widely publicised, but it takes a major event like the floods to wake us all up...
