They'll be fine though, it's the poor buggers who have to go out and attempt rescue who'll suffer. I wish natural selection worked better sometimes.

Vim Creek News to anyone interested ... seems steady at a comfortable level and roads are passable. I think we can relax for the evening but will obviously stay vigilant.

The upsides of all this is everything 'vital' is packed and we are ready to go real quickly.

True enough.

Plenty of sightseers out there according to the OH, I am going nowhere near the roads unless necessary.

OK, maybe a quick trip to the bottle shop

I'm trying to decide whether to go to work tomorrow...

according to the BCC maps from their website I may not get very far - but if I can get out of the end of my street there is a circuitous route I could take to get there and just miss all the flood effected areas...

..Once I'm at work I have to decide whether or not to cancel a vital appointment I 've got with a guy flying up from Sydney for Thursday... hmmm decisions decisions!

Stay in, everyone else will be. We went for a drive into town to get our mail this afternoon and went down along Coronation Drive and through St Lucia - lots of low lying areas on the river going under now, imagine what it will be like by Thursday. You just have to look at some of the watermarks still in the city from 1974 and it's supposed to go higher than that.

You are Citizen Journalist ... make the most, just say something inane like "Chk Chk Boom" or "Splish Splish Splash" and then hire an agent.
