Mon Hi all, Today has been the most emotional one since my arrival, by Friday the local roads were more or less clear of flood water and so we expected all to be well for school today, although we did know the homes would still be flooded and there to be poor attendance. However, the rains started again and by Sun lunchtime the river was rising and by last night all the roads were knee deep in water again, and it is fast catching up here too now. The truck du...

Hi All, Today has been another of wading through the deep and struggling against the current, depth of water and the hidden potholes. We had arranged to meet Jen and Ric in town to save them the long, difficult walk here, so we set off and 1 and a quarter hrs later we arrived - a walk in the same temp without water would have take 20 mins max! The three females set off like aged ladies using an umbrella to find the edge of pavements and potholes - much hysteri...
