Queensland Flood Appeal

It's been predicted that we're in for a wet summer and at the moment it's certainly believable.  The thing is, we might have had rain for the past four days but it's still really hot.  Stepping outside is like stepping out into a sauna at the moment.  Really warm.  Really wet.  You just kind of feel constantly sweaty.  Walking to work is certainly hard work.  I think the plants are enjoying it though.  They seem to be thriving.  I can see tomatoes ripening as we speak.  But what we're experiencing here is absolutely nothing compared to Queensland, who are in the midst of a major natural disaster as flooding devastates 75% of the state.  Queensland is a huge state so it's hard to imagine just how many people have been affected by this.  Homes have literally been washed away, crops destroyed and lives lost.  Even when the rain finally stops, the long lasting effects will continue to be felt by thousands.  It's at times like these that we have to look out for each other, come together as a nation and do everything we can to help those in need.   At the moment our thoughts are with the people of Queensland.  If anyone would like to donate to the Queensland Flood Appeal please click on the following link  http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html
