Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we encountered some storm issues. There was water blowing in under our bedroom door. Also, because the rain was swept in from the south-east there was water coming under the flashing on one of the joins above us, so there were some drips down a cross beam. These were relatively small leaks. Julian had some on his floor as well, but the biggest issue is we had one phase of electricity knocked out so we are currently entirely dependent on our solar system. We have logged a fault with the electricity department but we are sure with major flooding issues across the city, we are low down on their priority list. We’ve managed to scramble up to 100% solar despite the day looking like this…
The other surprising thing was two of the shrubs alongside the stairs blew over onto the steps.
Mike had to saw them up into pieces.
This was the second most significant storm this winter, even though it’s now spring. The one just before Father’s Day back in June was also big enough for the train trip to be cancelled. We are very glad it got rescheduled to this past Saturday and not yesterday.
Tomorrow, sunshine is forecast from late morning, so we should start drying out.
Meantime, despite it being a public holiday, I worked for 7 hours. Mondays have a way of being super busy. The first 2 weeks of October are going to see me working long hours as I cover for one of the directors who is on a business trip visiting clients.
Isaiah 3:10
Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
