Saturday Soiree - 2nd August 2025

@Appleblossom Welcome back. How’s your Saturday night? What’s on the menu tonight?

I just made a very yummy spanakoriso which is a Greek dish.

Looks fab @Cuddlebear

and healthy

I am being lazy… liver wurst, spinach and mayo on rye.

Yes I have had my dinner too @Shaz51 had it early in case I lose power.

It's flooding around me and there's been thunderstorms and now galeforce winds.

There are trees down, but none in my street so far, so far the water has not entered my house either through the roof or rising from the ground.

I just had left over lentil soup, because I could keep it warm on the fire if I needed and I've been keeping my tea on top of fire to keep it warm. I know people who have lost power today.

It's a bit anxiety provoking now because I can't see outside. The water was halfway up my front step before it got dark and it hasn't stopped raining since then

Sorry I can't think of anything upbeat to say except I won't have to water my plants for a few days!

@Shaz51 hmmm did that work? Lemme edit the original post too, hold up

omg YUMM @Cuddlebear!!

@Till23 ohhhhh scary!! I grew up in a town that regularly flooded, those rising waters are a force to be reckoned with! Please stay safe and dry however you can hun, hope it recedes before doing any real damage 🤞

Stay safe @Till23 🥰

All good 👍 @Jynx

Hello @RiverSeal 😍

Hey @Shaz51, how are you doing? I'm just back from 4 weeks holidays! RiverSeal

I thought you were away @RiverSeal

Did you have a good holiday 😊

What did you do ?

Yeah it was good and I had a nice time off @Shaz51. I went to Cairns to see my family for nearly two weeks and then spent the rest of the time at home and a few short trips regionally. Had a list of cleaning to do and none of it got done hehe. RiverSeal

Thanks @Jynx @Shaz51 there is nothing I can do so just have to wait. It's still raining and windy, I think tomorrow is supposed to be worse at least in the morning. I don't suppose I'll get much sleep but such is life, or not
