    Default Storms all over!

    I was watching our News last Evening and saw the horrific Storms that have lashed parts of Britain and Europe!
    I sincerly hope that ALL our Members are AOK.and that none have been affected by these Storms!
    It looked horrible by what we saw on TV.
    So just to say keep well out there,out thoughts go out to those who have lost their belongings ,and mostly to the Families who have lost loved ones!

    Now here in Sydney,we too had a bad Storm that rolled in Yesterday,also causing havoc,and although we did need the Rain,it seemed that most of the Wet hot places that ddnt really need it! Isnt that life!!
    There were places that had a bit of relief from the rain,so for that we are truly thankful.
    Gosh whats happening around the World!

    Things really are changing from Year to Year,but then i suppose we will just have to learn to live with all these changes,what else can one do!?

    Take care all of you no matter where you live!
    All the best
    Vernon and Irene

    I hope that Keiths warning post Alerted people !
    Cheers

    No worries Vernon, help is on its way, There are a lot of green taxes on my car and on my Gas and electric bill so the Greens can scatter pound notes over the clouds and the weather will start to improve. Wont be long now,
    Cheers

    Hi Vernon , dont forget to rig a sprinkler system over your roof and walls and windows of your home. keeps the sparks from setting it on fire.
