I spent most of the day cleaning up the house and trying to find a fan to help with the carpet. Apparently fans are no longer stocked in any shops because "it's winter now". Um, you do know we live in Australia and it is only March, right? Wasn't it just 35 degrees last week?
Anyway...now this...

So that's me. That's where I live. So far, it hasn't been that bad yet, so fingers crossed that this one misses us!
I've decided to light some candles, grab some munchies and just hang with my bestest buddy...

...and live in complete denial that more heavy rain is forecast for tonight and all day tomorrow.I pick Steve up at the airport in the morning. I missed him yesterday before the rain. I really really miss him since the rain!

Gee, I didn't even hear about any storms in Melbourne yesterday! Sounds nasty. The weather here has been crappy too...not hail though!
Good luck with the house. I hope things dry up quickly and that you don't leave much/any of your stuff.
I just don't know what to say. I'm sad you're going through it alone. Because storms are scary but fun to watch with a hubby around. Makes you feel more secure.
How are you doing? Hope Sunday didn't turn out to be too bad. Mal and I have just come back from Madeira and we got caught up in the storms there. I don't know if you heard about it - 42 died and many were injured and homeless. It feels like the effects of global warming are all around us at the moment.
Take care - Louise
