We had an unexpected weather event last Wednesday, a cyclonic storm that has kept us without power, phone, internet and water for 4 days. Apologies to anyone I did not respond to in comments. We did however have this beautiful Peacock drop by and casually look at me as if to ask " what just happened? " I thought he had left but I see him again this morning.

The biggest problem was a 60ft tall grey gum that fell across our driveway but a lopper came and cleared it the next day. Still have lots to clean up but we avoided damages thankfully.
