what a weekend my son's GF nan died on Friday so they have a service on Wednesday they even pop my son's name in the paper today was kinda nice to think he is part of their family

work was really busy on Saturday and we burnt the wood pile

sitting at table trying to type with Mia alssp across my arm so one hand the fingers are doing extra travel across the keyboard

had to get our boss out today as someone popped a cupboard full of the wrong stuff on tip so we have to report it people don't realize we can tell what they pop in the bins due to us checking and the camera system in place (read my FB status )

I hope to scrap the march challenges before the end of march but so much happening we got back today from the HOBART Tasmanian Science Talent Search from last year 2010 Chloe got a merit award plus 10.00 and an amaze pen I LOVED it so the weekend has gone!

had a fantastic night with my good friend and her 3 lil ones with Tezza and Chloe have decided every Friday after school to meet at her house and cook dinner and I cook dessert to bring this case I bought aplle pies but they went down a treat and every 2 weeks the two eldest Chloe and Erin spend a hour with a community of children at the local club...first time for Chloe she had a ball...my friend is a single mum and I give my hat off to her one boy has autism but he has befriended Chloe so much he doesn't want her to leave and Erin who is in her class has Aspergers we have a boy that lives in our unit enclave that has it so she knows how to react to things that Erin does...Chloe balances both children out and the lil girl is just a bouncing ball of joy LOL

We are having flooding warnings here in Tasmania and its not good news at all Might not be able to make it out of Longford monday and Chloe wants to go to school....

Major flooding continues about the Perth - Longford area with river levels now
rising more slowly around Longford.

Major flooding will extend through Trevallyn Dam and Cataract Gorge by Saturday
morning.

Predicted River Heights/Flows:
The following river heights are estimated on observed and forecast rainfall.
South Esk Rv at Longford 6.8 to 7.2 m, early evening, Fri 25/03/11
South Esk Rv at Trevallyn Dam 1900-2100, cumecs, morning, Sat 26/03/11

Invermay is even worse Forster Street, Launceston is closed. The Launceston City Council is closing the Flood Levee gates at the bottom of the street.

50 years since the worst flood on Launceston

wow Julie I hope the water doesn't get any higher than it already is. Take care of yourselves!

stoopid flooding ...gates didn't close but the caravan park is underwater and a lot of the farming properties are having a horrific start of the year with their crops under water...plus it is a really nice and sunny day saturday...I can see out the window

hiya its cold here today.


i went for my walk at 540am.

looks like it might rain today as the sky is all white outside.


home today with the kids and need to clean the house.


have a great day all
