Hi Rosemary, This must be telepathy as, only a few minutes ago, I was compiling a list of my B & S correspondents in Queensland, whom I am thinking of, when your message came through to the list. Among the other names written down so far are Jenny, Pat, Steve, Barbara, Lindsay, Don, Ron and Dallas, some of whom I know you met at your own bunfight in Brisbane some years ago. It's very unsettling to see the pictures of the floods on the television news and know that people whom I've corresponded with, over the years, are facing danger and heartbreak in a terrible situation. > (We are safe as our house is on the top of a hill) That's good to know. I hope all the others, whom I've mentioned are safe, too. I'm sorry if I've missed anyone out. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
