After the floods

Something I may have forgotten to mention is the QLD flooding. Yes our property was flooded and unfortunately we were not able to get home and had to couch hop for a few nerve racking-migraine inducing days.
In actual fact we were not in the country when all this flooding started. The first we knew of it was when we were sitting at the international airport waiting for our flight back to Aus and I receieved a text message from the QLD government informing us everyone in certain areas of QLD were being evacuated. Our little praire is in that area. So we got on our flight and for 13 hours entertained ourselves with movies and movies until at about 5am Aus time my migraine announced itself disguised as a lack-of-caffiene-induced headache.
After downing 2 coffees from the attendant it then became apparant that my nervous teeth grinding had given me a migraine.
I got off the plane with a sick bag hidden inside my stupidly expensive bag in case my migraine caused me to lose the dinner, snack, snack and breakfast the plane had provided us with.

When we got back to our home airport our friends picked us up and filled us in one everything. We called our beautiful neighbours who had been looking after our dogs. Property was flooded but house and dogs were fine. PHEW!!

We did have a beautiful vege garden started and an almost full compost bin! After the water had subsided and we were able to return home we had to empty the compost and pull out the dead plants from the garden.

Today after we visit the Home and Garden expo it will be back into it, setting up the compost bin and expanding the vege garden.
Till then....
Ciao!
