Heavy rain, flash flooding hits Sydney as SES receives 850 calls for help

Last night as I was going home from Library Craft Group at 7.15 the skies kept opening & my trolley flooded! it's earlier model of this without ties to keep flap over the body Fortunately my craft supplies were in a lovely zipped blanket bag, rescued some time back from bins before the trash was removed! My leather handbag, newspaper & new crossword books were wet, but all dried out. As my elderly trolley is no longer completely waterproof I keep a giant black garbage bag in the trolley for permanent stuff (spare shawl, shopping bags etc) in to & they were in water! Pulling the wet vinyl off the frame & the wet black heavy duty bag out was (not) fun - upending them & finding spaces for them, & soaking full-length raincoat & slightly longer dress & thin puffer jacket with wet sleeves was fun (not) I pull the trolley behind me ...   

Last night I found my large snap fasteners & will sew one on before I leave the Thursday Craft group, eek supposedly in an hour, definitely after sewing, then shower & breakfast. Rain has just stopped - it must just be taking a breath or maybe the clouds are just regrouping. Sydney radar

As always, last night & this morning I think of the people who sleep rough. And we have a lot of homeless people.
