Hi Girls, after me very confidently telling you all we never have Tornados here they had a real humdinger in Bendigo, Victoria, 300kms an hour wind, awful damage of course.

Avonne it is so good to see your post, I agree with Becky you are really eloquent with words, I can feel your faith shining through, you have been busy, isn't it hard to throw things out that we have had a long time, I find it very hard, always trying to improve myself in this area, give my love to Lottie & her DH.

Bea that is a bad mistake for the water dept. to make, they should have had plans to see exactly where the pipes are, it is so frustrating to have this sort of thing happen, you have certainly had a difficult time with roofers etc. I shudder to think what it will be like in years ahead because here the young people do not want to train in practicle work.

Mindy do hope you get some sun soon it is certainly very important to our wellbeing, it

can lift your spirit up so quickly I find.

Judi I have not been able to catch up on all my emails since last week, will gradually get there, Jack & I really have enjoyed the ones I have opened, I am always singing out for him to come & look, wonderful tolerant man with this slightly dotty wife, keep well Judi. HUGS to all, Doreen.

A tornado. Oh gosh, I'm glad that your safe. We've had a rare few blow through here in past years and they cause enough damage that it is something that we never really forget. The central part of the US is known as tornado alley and I know when my son went to U. of Nebraska, they had their drills well practiced for when any sighted tornadoes were coming their way.

Yes, really something to break our sewer pipe. Everybody has their job to do, and I guess "dig safe" told them where to dig, and I actually think it was the guy doing the actual digging that miscalculated somehow. Anyway, this is 5 hours now and no water, and of course, you know right about know I have to use that flush. I'll just cross my legs and my eyes will float right out of my head. Of course, it's not that bad, as I can still use the "water closet" but just can't use or flush any water.

And on with the day. Have a good one. Stay safe and stay healthy! Love, Bea

Goodness.. I am sorry for anyone that has a wretched tornado. I live in fear of them in the summer. I have never been even near one, but it is not high on my list of things I want to experience.

Have a feel good day and enjoy life..Becky
