[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 22508, member: 1991"] G'day, Sharon and all to follow. It is scary when our kids take custody of the car. We sit at home fretting about whether we'll see either of them again, in undamaged condition. difficult child 1 gets his first professional driving lesson next Tuesday, when they'll assess his driving to tell us how soon he can go for his test. It's a day we never thought we'd see. Jen, I hope you can shake that stomach bug soon. Nasty. I'm glad the weather is warming up for you. It's still hot here, but raining as well. We're not complaining - we need it desperately. Mind you, some are complaining - news tonight said that parts of western Sydney (Campbelltown) are not happy with cars being washed over 8 foot fences. It was only two weeks ago that the roof of their mall collapsed under the weight of a sudden downpour. On the news tonight the place looked like a disaster zone. Again. And Canberra last night had a super-cell go through, it dumped over three feet of hail onto the centre of the city. A good thing our Parliament House is underground, eh? Mind you, some might think that our beloved leaders could do with a thorough soaking. A bit more than a bucket of cold water now and then... "you might think that - I could hardly comment..." (Ian Richardson as Francis Urquhart, "House of Cards"). We drove to the doctor's this afternoon through another storm that followed wet and loud on our heels. Amazingly, the road didn't flood. We had a bad power outage this morning. It really bothered difficult child 3 because as luck would have it, all his current schoolwork required computer and internet use, and with no electricity... not even my laptop could help. And the cause - probably a nearby transformer which shorted out with either condensation from the high humidity, termites, or both. I had to ring his school and notify them that he couldn't do schoolwork today. So your kids in the US get snow days, difficult child 3 gets a termite day. Weird. It never rains but it pours. Hopefully I'll make it to the beach tomorrow. Rain or no rain. We've been too busy so far this week. We're getting a lot of sun in the mornings and middle of the day, it's reverting back to the summer weather pattern I remember from my childhood - big storms hitting the city at about 3-4 pm. Mind you, they're bigger than I remember, which is saying something. Still, they're fun if you can avoid being hit by anything. Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
