Thanks for your lovely words, Lee 🙂
I just heard from my neighbour that a huge tree near us is down over powerlines, been down nearly 24 hours and no-one has started clearing it yet, then after that the powerlines need to be fixed, looks like power will be out including tomorrow.
Which means I will probably run out of battery, I'm very sorry, Lee 😥
Also the mobile data doesn't let me connect to the internet 95% of the time 😥
Please take care of yourself my dear friend, I will be thinking of you ❤
@Lee71
I hope this message gets through

Don't worry about me @NatureLover we can catch up on things when it's all back to normal. I am watching the news, and it's showing how Bad your storm was and how some places can't or shouldn't drink tap water.
I am so relieved that you are safe. You have no idea how much.

Thank you for kind words, yes am not allowed to drink tap water but have no way to boil it. Neighbour says another 2 days with no power - I really hope not!
Mobile data seems a bit better in car, so if you do feel up to telling me how you're doing, would like to know

@NatureLover am not good at all. But don't worry about that I'm more concerned about you.
If I could bring you some bottled water I would. And coffee and cake.
They were saying on the news they were trying or hoping to get the water issue fixed today. I hope so . Every time something about Melbourne comes up on the news it makes me worry about you.

Oh Lee, am really sorry you're not good at all...what do you need?
Please don't worry about me, I'm doing OK, but it's made me realise how I rely on technology for keeping in touch with people, and also how cold you must be every day and night 😥
Thanks for the virtual bottled water, coffee and cake, that made me smile, thank you 🙂
I can't even access the news, heard about the contaminated water from my sister. You know more than I do, lol
I was pleased your brother was available to take you to the hospital today...I hope the tests went OK
