End of February

 Monday 

28th February, 2022

......... 


South East Queensland has experienced 

massive rainfall over the last few days

and with that, major flooding. 




It's all very difficult and expensive for so many residents.

Friday

 Super-Rainy Friday

25th February, 2022

.......... 


Had a big crane and crew

in the street today, 

even with the deluge of rain. 

The job must go on ! 





 

Firstly, the crane parked outside my driveway,
however it then proceeded down a few doors. 
A spa was then air-lifted over the house and yard
and into the rear courtyard of a townhouse in 
the next street over. 

Precision lifting @ Mann's Cranes . 
 















































A serious cost to do this ... how many staff ? 
Crane hire. Truck delivery. Road closure permit. 

Hope that the client thinks it's all worth it.

Happy Birthday to my late, great Aunt

Janie Pentecost WEST. 

Born: 19.02.1903

into a very different world. 

 Below: some birthday cards 

sent to Janie by her favourite Aunt Minnie. 














Devon Cottage

Lawson Street 

Southport  Qld

Holiday Cottage


Devon Cottage is 5th house going towards the Broadwater

Peaked roof, faded paint, between green roof (away ) 

and darker red roof ( towards bottom of frame ). 

House was resumed by Gold Coast City Council long ago. 


Janie's final resting place 

Toowong Cemetery

Beside Frederick Street where the steel fence ends. 

Grave at rear with Black Wattle Tree growing

through it is where Aunty Minnie rests with the South Brisbane Wests. 


Thinking of you today, Janie. 
You were always so very kind to me ... I'll never forget you. 

Love
