I'm glad you posted! I've been worrying whether you were affected by the epic and horrible floods. You're from Brisbane, right? I'm very glad to hear you're high and dry.

Hi Meryl. Yes, I'm from Brisbane. Its been a very wet few months with the ground completely saturated.

Thank you very much for your concern. Take care yourself - was thinking of you during New York's snowstorm.
