Dreadful news. I always looked forward to Rodney's articles each month. The subjects covered and the way in which the articles were written kept me entertained for a long time. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Seeing the roads have broken up between me and Shepparton & mean while back is in trouble. This is being live streamed on Zoom. If we get thunderstorms it will take less than 25mm of rain to flood several roads. I have been flooded in a few times. Some photos on my Facebook page.
