Happy 20011.
New year comes every year, but 2011 is a special year : It will start with 1/1/11 & after 10 days, 11/1/11. After 10 months, 1/11/11 & after 10 months & 10 days, it will be 11/11/11. Guess some maths major had time on his hands?
Sort of along the same lines. Did you know that the dates in 1993 matched the days in 2010? Does that mean that 1994 calendar will match 2011? Duh! I just checked and—yes it does. Knew I’d saved these diaries for something.I hope the new year brings good things to us all. At last the sun is shining and life is starting to get back to normal here, at least. What a devastating time Queensland has had. I hope none of you readers have suffered the hardships those further south have suffered.
I rang to find how our former Police Officer, Lynda Collin (nee Shand) and her husband Wayne were doing and am pleased to report that they are not in the flood zone. I imagine, though, they are both pretty busy with assisting those effected in their area.
During the holidays the grass around town has jumped up. Congratulations to our local Fieries for continuing to maintain the appearance of the town and give the town a positive image.
The locals are starting to trickle back from holidays away as work returns to normal. Unfortunately, along with the rain there has been plenty of problems with communications. The internet (satellite) keeps dropping out and I have to try and work around the problems. There has been no use trying to do anything until the weather settles. So many more are using the internet now that there are periods when overload occurs. Like when we were all sending those photos of the floods off to our friends and clogging the system. I’ve also noticed it happens on special occasions and special days when the reception is extra slow. It will be interesting to see what the solution to this will be. If the airways are already clogged I wonder how the Broadband cable will cope. And did those birds that dropped from the sky in USA fly into a clogged satellite path???
Have a great week. Don’t forget Fari returns on Wednesday 19th.
