Tourist attraction of the decade!

Sooooo. This flooding thing. We had some water in our garden for a few days, and on the 26th, there was about 10-15cm of water in the garden. Then during the night, the water level rose A LOT.

 You can see the 26th picture on my previous dolly meet entry if you want to compare. But that water is about knee high. Not high enough to flood the house yet, but very worrying. But fast forward to today- now the water level has gone down a wee bit, maybe an inch at most, but apparently experts are saying that even though there is no rain predicted, this may no be the worst of it. So we may get flooded after all. And even if we don't get flooded by water coming through the doors, we may get flooded by water rising through the bottom of the house. Damn shoddy building standards! Should shoot the people who design and build unsuitable houses near areas that do flood... Hmmpf. My boy went yesterday to the Park and Ride, and got some sandbags to put by the doors, so we have sandbags lying around on the front and back doors. And we have also moved pretty much Everything upstairs yesterday just in case it does flood. Good times all around in this part of the country. I feel for the people who have it worse though, as there is a lot of places where people have had to leave their homes to be ravaged by water and sewage. I do really hope though that our situation won't come to that.

Hope everyone stays safe, and that no one will have to leave their homes due to the wrath of the rivers!
