He says their house is on a hill and so have been ok during the floods but it is worse now. I saw on TV that 26 people have been killed there. I hope they are ok.

    I am home, sick. Slept till 1, which is some recent record.

    After that, then our lives will be perfect. Riviera vacations every week, the works.”
