Stay dry you guys.
I got family in the Rocky area too, haven't heard from them, probably the mobile towers are damaged. Can only hope they are all ok.

Have had an interesting few days here at Lawnton Showgrounds - great spot - met the Rocket and her hubby. Seen the family on this side of the city - good to see them again. Had a nephew and his wife come to visit, haven't seen them for a few years, so all good.
"Invigilator" - hmm what an interesting word - must look it up in the "Funk and Wagnells"

Hi All.
When my sister works for the Education Department in NSW. doing high school axaminations she is called a Moderator.
At the end of the day standing at the exit I thought I had the best job. As the 230 young ones were leaving the hall most of them said thank you.
It was most pleasing to hear this and see there smiles at the days end. Ralph.

Hey, I missed that Rocket, is he ok? Billeeeeeee is also not well, been in the loo most of the night, out for dinner last night and he had prawns, the only thing he had, and I didn't, so guess that was the problem. Still sleeping.
I also went to the Lawnton market - some good bargains, fruit and veg, clothes, a great variety market. Every second Saturday, ,6am to noon.
