@  Dear Anthro

Have been worrying about you.

A lot of water near you atm.

Are you affected by the floods at all?

Perhaps move to higher land?   It looks horrendous with so many died. 

As if you haven't got enough with Covid and a shortage of vaccinations, or have you caught up?  It seems a mighty dangerous area where you live, what with bandits and snakes as well as this flooding.


Do take care.   Thinking of you

Love to all, sadie Xxxx

Thank you, dear Sadie. The floods are in the Durban/Ethekwini area on the east coast. We live in central South Africa. The situation is desperate there. With more than 400 people killed and 70 still missing, rainfall is continuing. In one instance a 15-year-old girl, her mother and grandmother were killed when their home was swept away by a mudslide. Three generations gone. The brother was working night shift and discovered his family upon returning home in the morning. The sad reality is that poor families are encouraged (by opposition parties such as the EFF) to erect their homes on floodline land. The rationale is that it would be the only way for authorities to realise their plight for proper housing. Thank you for thinking of me and my family. Much love to you too. xxx

How dreadful.  Make sure that you are not on a flood plain.   More difficult to ensure that you are not in a mudslide area, but do your best.

We have been flooded and no way would you think our house was in a flood area.   IIRC we had £40,000 of damage last time   The insurance company were very good, their builders were excellent, but it was a shock!

 Keep safe.  Take care.

I am having absolute hell with my computer at the moment.  A two year old Apple which cost nearly a thousand pounds.
I don't even know if this comment will survive.  everything seems to be self destructing.

Shades of Sadie who eve Something.  Sorry about that.  My comment was interfered with yet again.

There is something not quite right going on here.  Don't make a spelling mistake because it cannot be retrieved.

However, I am made of sterner stuff.  So don't try me.

Only 3 people are having a problem, however.

If it's a fault with the forum it should affect everyone. Do you have any problems elsewhere?

But it doesn't.  It only affects 4 strong supporters as far as we know.

I wonder why ?
