Yes, this is a blog post. I’m still alive and haven’t fallen of the fact of the Earth. Over the last day or so, I’ve been thinking about how this blog has been going to waste, so I’ve decided, over time, that I’m going to start to implementing some new things here. I’m not sure what, but something. Any ideas, would be great, but so far I’m liking the flow that Ben has.
I have a few sites that I’v signed up with like flickr, twitter, etc, that I don’t really use that much, so I’m planing on starting to use these services more, and possible try to integrate them here.
In other news, I’m now the proud owner of a Nokia N95 8GB. So far this is a great phone, and I’m loving what it can do, especially the inbuilt GPS and Wi-fi.
Here are some photo from my father in-law took just after the torrential rain.
These are just a few photos from around the place, but doesn’t show some of the worst. There is a housing estate a short drive from here and they had about 3 feet of water through all the homes. It was sad to see everyone there moving all their furniture and other personal effects out to the footpath and into bins.
My in-laws also lost a huge chunk from their retaining wall. Below are some photos.
These photos don’t really show the scale of this. This is going to be pretty costly to fix.
I’m guessing that some of you have heard about the floods in Mackay, Queensland. I heard on the news last night thats it’s the worst in 90 years. I only seen a few photos of the water damage on a news site. Lisa’s parents live up there, an well, half of their backyard has slipped away. We are currently on our way up there now to help out where we can. Pretty brave considering there are some flash flooding warnings. I’ll try and get some photo’s of the slippage and will post them. ps. I posted this using my phone so sorry for the one huge paragraph.
I should have written a post about this earlier, and I was going to, but I never did actually get around to it. Starting today, I’m going on a cruise to the South Pacific aboard the Pacific Sun.
We have just spent a night in a river view hotel in just out from the Brisbane CBD and I can see the ship from where I am now. I’m starting to get really excited and can’t wait to get on it.
The particular cruise that we are going on is called Week Fantastique which starts in Brisbane and goes to Noumea, Lifou, and Vila, then back to Brisbane after 7 nights.
I really can’t wait to get on the ship. I’ve never been on a cruise, so I have no idea what to expect, though I do know a few people who have been and say it’s great fun.
I’m planing on taking a lot of photo’s while I’m away, and will upload some of them when I get back home in a week.
