Aftermath.

We still had no power this morning.We began the day with clearing up the mess left after yesterday. We went next door first to help Daryl with the fallen branches. Another helpful neighbour, Steve had come round too. Steve had brought his man tools but his chainsaw was blunt! I wondered about his capabilities with it when I noticed one of his fingers was shorter than the rest by at least one knuckle. I kept well away from him when he was trying to cut branches with his blunt chainsaw.Will went up on the roof and cleared the branches up there and we piled them all at the side of the road for the council to coma and collect.The next job was fixing the shutters out side Dulcie's bedroom.We decided to go out for lunch as we still had no electricity."Where can we go?" Asked Will."What about Forest Lake?" I suggested......so we all went there.It was awful to see all the devastation to lots of trees that we passed on the way.We ate a full roast chicken and pasta salad from Woolies on a table by the water. I felt a bit bad ripping flesh from the roasted bird surrounded by coots and moorhens.We had a walk around the lake, It was incredible how different it was from the day before.....the path was covered with debris and mud but we enjoyed the walk and joy of joys.....when we got home.....the power was back on!
