2011 Flood

My property narrowly escaped being flooded on Tuesday and Wednesday. The flood waters came up to my fence and flooded my next door neighbour's property. Had the flood waters reached 22 metres, as predicted, they would've been up to my roof. I evacuated to the home of family friends both nights and am staying with my parents now because I'm still without electricity. According to Energex, it will possibly take until Monday evening to restore electricity. A family friend who took photos will email them to me and I'll post them later.

Christian art and architecture of France

It's a rainy Sunday so I've decided to reflect on the Christian art and architecture I encountered on my trip to France. (I might save my photos of England for another time.)

The story in Saintes Maries de la Mer (southern France) is that Mary and Martha sailed to the town in a small boat.

An entrance to old Avignon, Provence...

...the city and it's churches were built to last, literally on rock.

The Palace of the Popes, Avignon, complete with gargoyles...

Goodbye Snowball, hello new wheels

Goodbye Snowball...

Picked up my new (used) car yesterday...

... a Nissan Micra 2008. (The licence plate has my intials, R.C.)
