Home

Worked out I can go home in 80 days. It still seems like a long time. Turns out this blog covers a wider subject area than I originally intended. But hey, if we are truly "fixing stuff", I've got to include the most important things too.
I'm not sure that relationships are best fixed by separation. But my hope and prayer is that it works. (I'll update in 80 days' time.)

Floods!


Feeling very sorry for everyone up north now. It must be especially tough for the leaders. Hope they find more survivors

Time gets by

Wow! Four months since my last post! Can't believe it, must have been busy! Going through an awful time at the moment, makes it hard to remember these things. Anyhow, just watching the terrible Queensland floods makes me think of the huge needs that will be left for the people up there, cleaning up, rebuilding homes, towns, lives. Already people have been found drowned, and many injured. It makes the plight of libraries seem very small in comparison. But even so, inevitably there will be libraries destroyed by this disaster, and that is awful for the local communities. I hope we in the south can rally together to help our northern friends to salvage & rebuild.
If all the other States gave Queensland just 5% of their income, that would surely give the rebuilding projects a good start?
