It stopped raining a couple of hours ago.
so I packed Dave, Bear and a load of cleaning products into the car, and set off for Melbourne.
In case you're unaware, Nadie is currently trying to clean and pack for the immanent move up here.
I think we can agree that moving house is stressful at the best of times, but imagine trying to do it with both arms in splints! [ work injury, long story ]
Hence the maternal visitation last weekend to lend a literal helping hand or two at the Pre-Move Garage Sale, and theoretically again today to do a spot of cleaning & bring back the Grandkittens.
That was the plan
but you all know about the best laid plans o' mice, men and Catsmums, don't you ?
things 'gang[ed] aft aglay' in a big way
all ways to & through Castlemaine currently cut by storm water to some degree ...
Police were diverting traffic away from one sheet of water, only to have those cars intercepted a bit further on by another lot of constabulary and sent circling back to the first lot ... and so on ...
I didn't have my usual desire to pull over and take photos, even though some of it was quite spectacular. I've just seen a little too much television coverage this week of people's lives and livelihoods being destroyed.
so here I am back at home
feeling fairly b****y useless
will try to get out to the Calder again later

you might feel useless but I am glad you are safe.
Things will get done, and you will get through when safe. Just looked at the radar and it at least is very clear at the moment.
Oh, my...
Here in New England, we joke about "You can't get there from here" - looks like it's literally true for you folks. Good luck.
