2:51 am
zoozzoom
Lots of flooding north or the UK like Yorkshire. Had plenty of rain here too and more to come.
2:51 am
zoozzoom
We have lots of rain and Australia is in dire need of it. This world is crazy!
2:52 am
zoozzoom
California is having it bad too so I hear.
2:52 am
rubyfoo
Watching international weather reports, I realize how Lucky I am that we chose such a temperate place
2:53 am
rubyfoo
I have family in Sydney and also in No Calif and isn't Rose in Melbourne<?
2:54 am
zoozzoom
Yes where I am is not too bad nothing like where other parts get hit by bad climate conditions.
2:54 am
zoozzoom
Not sure where Rose is to be honest.
2:55 am
zoozzoom
Hope your family members are in a safe zone, Ruby.

Not a wors so do not bother trying it lol
3:02 am
dizgrannie
I feel sorry for everyone, but tomorrow is the final exam day for students doing their final school year exams in the affected areas can't cos either the school has been razed or they havebeen evacuated
3:03 am
zoozzoom
Not good. I should think they will have to let the students take the exam at another time and location that is near by.
3:04 am
rubyfoo
That's awful diz
3:04 am
zoozzoom
Not that they would be in the frame of mind to take an exam after all the devastation around them!
3:07 am
zoozzoom
Finally found an 8
3:08 am
zoozzoom
That was A 8 not an8
3:08 am
zoozzoom
Might be easier just to say I have found OU8
3:08 am
rubyfoo
You'd think with a natioal emergency ALL te*** could be put on hold for a while
3:09 am
zoozzoom
Yes That was what I was thinking, ruby as it is not fair on the students in the effected areas.
3:10 am
rubyfoo
and it's only exams, shouldn't bee so urgent
3:11 am
zoozzoom
Or would that be affected.
3:13 am
rubyfoo
I've just asked my housekeeper to make me crepes for breakfast. She'll probably quit
