What a week!

Well it has certainly been a bizarre week in Australian history.  As I shared with you the other day, Queensland has just experienced its most devastating floods in history and the drama is far from all over.  Now the majority of the East coast all the way down to Tasmania is under threat of floods in the coming days or weeks.  Thankfully we are safe here in WA but we could definitely use a little rain.


We have spent a lot of time watching helplessly as the TV showed footage of the carnage and tragedy over East but there came a point on Wednesday when we just had to occupy ourselves with something other than sadness.  We went out in the morning and got school shoes and books for the kids then in the afternoon Janine and the girls came over for a swim and a glass or 3 of wine.  That night Sarah stayed here and Taylah went off to sleep at Emma's house so all the girls were happy.


Thursday morning we got up and went out to the movies to see Yogi Bear.  What an awesome movie that was!

After the movie some of us went to the Hog's Breath for a yummy lunch whilst others wandered in the shops because they had eaten too much during the movie and were not hungry.  We then all came back here for another swim and yep more glasses of wine.


Friday Janine and I decided to take a bunch of kids to the zoo for the day.  We left home before 9.30 and didn't get home until around 6pm.  We were all exhausted but boy did we have a fun day.  I took over 250 photos so have made up a collage of some of my favourites.

Today has been a quiet day at home, vegging out and catching up on some much needed tidying up and sorting out (on the computer as well as around the house).  I will update my project 365 photos tomorrow (or sometime soon) but for now it is time to feed this hungry family of mine.

To all my friends and family who have had a tough week (in the floods or personally) I wish you all lots of love and strength for the coming weeks as you rebuild your lives, family and homes.
