Flashlight? Good idea. I used to have a small one on my enormous keyring. I don’t know what happened to it. And I have an enormous keyring with bright lanyards hanging off it, because I’m always losing my keys in the house. Not any more! My brain refuses to put the keys in the same place every time when I come in.
The big floods were an hour’s drive north of me. I’m not hearing very much about how people are doing. We are, however, seeing a huge hike in some fruit and vegetable prices, especially tomatoes and bananas, and shortages on shelves of other goods normally stocked by warehouses in Brisbane that were flooded. It will take a long time for some people’s lives to get back to normal up there, if ever. So many weren’t insured for that kind of flood. And I’m sure so many are still in some kind of shock.
