[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 128524, member: 1991"] G'day, dreamer. I'm glad you're getting nicer weather. I love a good thunderstorm. We just got back from my sister's 70th birthday party gathering, the whole family (siblings & partners only) stayed in a caravan park near my sister's place. On the drive up, we were listening to the flood reports from Queensland - the town of Mackay was getting badly flooded. The rain was falling at the incredible rate of several inches every half hour or so. In six hours, they have over TWO FEET of rain! There is a monsoon trough extending much further tan usual, from Darwin (where you expect monsoons this time of year (right round through Queensland and from what I can gather, tipping the coastal areas of NSW almost to Sydney, which is why we're getting weird weather here, too. difficult child 3 has measured the rainfall - in the last two weeks we've had about half Sydney's annual rainfall. Driving home today - we had showers and it was cool - then the clouds would part, the sun would be out and it would be hot and humid. Then more showers, and so on. We had a really happy weekend. We also rendezvoused with BellyKate, who drove to meet up with us en route. Her difficult child and our difficult child 3 had a little play together before we travelled on further, we would have loved more time but it was great to finally meet a CD member face to face - there are too few of us here in Oz. At my sister's party I talked to one of her daughters who has a difficult child of her own. She's not a member here yet (I don't think) but I have told her about CD and she's got a lot out of reading everything on this site, she told me. husband was entering data on the family tree and it is interesting to see the difficult child patterns emerging in this next generation. Fascinating! I'm still very sore from the liver biopsy on Thursday, and the bruising is turning a fascinating shade of violet and magenta. I suspect I'm going to be sore until the bruising begins to subside. We finally saw girlfriend's engagement ring this afternoon - she says it's just what she wanted. A glowing girl, indeed. And our couch was covered with "bride" magazines, I suspect she and easy child 2/difficult child 2 had been sitting there all afternoon, dreaming. Two engaged kids and a 70-year-old sister - I'm feeling VERY old... Marg [/QUOTE]
