Just to update you all on the state of our beleaguered city, you can see what is happening here:

We are currently safe and don’t appear to be under threat. But friends have been evacuated and it’s utterly heartbreaking and quite terrifying.
Your thoughts and prayers, for rain especially, are appreciated.

No it sounds really stressful. I just dropped G at the airport so feeling a little bit glum myself… though a minor glitch!

Keep your chin up. I admire you and G’s ability to sustain such a solid relationship long distance. That’s not nothing.

We try hard although sometimes it is tougher than others. Our long term is still uncertain. 😦 But forget about me. Take care one and all on your end.

It is quite devistating isn’t it! I am just so pleased they managed to save CAP thus far. We don’t have much and it would be so disheartening to have the only new thing we do have snatched away so suddenly.
