spending the day cleaning up the office after the recent flooding in brisbane. it feels eerie to be back at work when the rest of the city is covered in water or without power.

for the few days we were at home taking in evacuees from surrounding suburbs the sun was shining and the atmosphere was more like a big sleepover party than a natural disaster. and judging from the lines at the local drive through, we weren’t alone!

glad to know that all my friends, family and their pets came out of this safe and sound… and in aid of those that didn’t, i urge people to contribute to red cross australia and the rspca.

when it’s grey and gloomy outside, i crave a cozy, comforting space like this one. soft, dim lights, white walls displaying knicks and knacks, places to curl up and read a book or be creative… plus a well-stocked bar.
