Hi Fiona. What a time we are all having! Right in the middle of lambing here, and there have been a few sodden lambs by the fire, some requiring a stomach tube to revive them.

I hope you do not suffer too much more, and that this feisty spring will soon settle a bit. xx

We’re back up and running Susan, only three days without. How about you? You’re probably sensible with generators at the ready. We are hearing it’s going to be another month for some - unimaginable!

Thanks, Fiona, for your descriptive writing. I checked in with granddaughter who is housesitting whilst her parents are overseas. She's in charge of the sheep, chickens, dogs and cat. Luckily, her area of Tassie missed the worst of it, although there was plenty of rain. I hope all will be well soon and things get back to "normal" in your neck of the woods.

Hi Sigrid, thank goodness we are up and running again but not taking anything for granted. The rain continues through next week according to the forecast. We were very fed up after three days but some people are still without power now, it’s been unprecedented. I’m glad your granddaughter missed the worst, it wouldn’t be nice to go through alone or with animals to care for.

What a storm, so many trees down at your property. How’s the recovery going?

I enjoyed reading this story, as the storm approached Tasmania we flew in a plane to Melbourne. We watched the assault from the tv and news from family and friends.
