Hello and thanks for coming over
We've had some wild, wild weather here in Victoria!
Crazy high winds and rain
Although nothing compared to the tragic conditions in New Zealand
A branch from one of our trees fell on our telephone line on Saturday Night
Needless to say I've been Phone & InternetLESS for a few days
here's the after photo of our repaired telephone line
Finally, the Workman came today to do repairs, mind you only temporary repairs
Turns out there's been over 200 hundred damaged phone lines, in our area alone
He'd fixed six this morning and had run out of cable....thankfully he could do a patch up for me today
It's been very stange withouth the internet there at my finger tips
Most things I do I look up on Line
I don't even have a phone book anymore
Apart from the weekends I read the Newspaper online
I don't look at my massive collection of Cookery Books now, simply Google Recipes
As they say
"Everything Happens for a Reason"
In this case the Reason being
For me, I think I need to go back to doing a few things the Good Old Fashioned Way!
Let's see how long that lasts for!!
I have been enjoying full on painting

Hi Gail....Hey..I was really very very scared on saturday night..
that wind was just horrendous..blowing off the water straight into our house..
I am just glad hubby was home...!! could cuddle up to him..
our tv aerial blew off the roof..into our balcony..still hanging there precariously may I add...
lots of fellow bloggers have had water damage..trees blown down..
isnt this country just amazing..??
drought...fires...floods...
anyway...love your painting...
raining as I type...at least NO wind..

No wonder you had a tree branch come down those winds were terrible. Luckily for us none of our trees are old enough to do any damage.
Love the painting.

Hi Gail, I've been watching it all on the news, can't believe the flooding. Glad to hear everything is ok though and I hope we get some nice spring weather soon.. love your paintings as always, take care, Maryann
Welcome back... you have been missed but I do understand that when you dont have the internet you get a lot more done in some ways...
So glad to hear that you and our Aussie friends are doing ok... I saw something about your weather somewhere and was wondering if all was ok...
As for the painting ... I want to have some of that cake ... looks good enough to eat!!

Hi Gail,
Your latest painting is fabulous.
I can see that hung in an old fashioned kitchen.
You always have such great frames for your art.
Roll round Spring, it should be here tomorrow, just for the day. lol
Happy painting,
Hugs,
Anna
That sure is horrendous weather down there Gail. I'm glad your damage was repairable. At least you got some lovely painitng done without the internet distraction - LOL.
Take care.

Pretty !! I love it !! :)
Oh Gail internet and phoneless..that would test me!! I too use the net for most things including recipies and local amenities..and my kids..omg they would be lost...not being able to facebook or msn..why they might even have to walk the three houses down to actally face the friends they talk to online..heaven forbid heheh. It has become such a part of life the old internet!! I am glad you house survived the weather..and to all bloggers who may not have been so lucky my sympathies are with you.
