A-lopa ... so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family.
I too had a really tough last few (5) weeks with my Dad ... who is 75yo. Thru this life, he's had a few bouts of renal cholic ...with a significant event just recently.
This time he NEARLY lost a kidney thru infection ... which also sent his heart haywire....so its been a roller-coaster ... snow-ball ... you name it... and a hugely worrying time . So if I've been tetchy around the place ... thats why.
(As of Thur nite just gone, the calculi removed... and now sitting up large as life... ticker back to normal... and it looks really good from here on. A HUGE relief for the family).
Weather wise...we've also had huge amounts of rain (mthly av fell in just 2days).
There has been local flash flooding and local road diversions ... (and its raining AGAIN this morning).
I took this photo the other day from a high point in our village .... and labelled some features. In it you can see free-water lying on the flats... although the actual levels fluctuate hour to hour.
So that is my suburb...village...and an Arborists paradise.....
and I'm probably gonna get chased off here soon by my 20yo "Lard Lad" son ..but not bofore I read all the newest posts HERE.
