Poms From OZ and the cyclone

Subject: Poms From OZ - Tropical Al and the cyclone
From: Zany Mouse

Just heard from Alan (Mudcat name: Tropical Al) as follows:

thanks for your concern. We are OK & the house survived after a torrid night - more details later. Will post something to mudcat when we have more time - big mess to clean-up. Couldn't communicate before as we had no power or pidgeons. Complicated systems fall apart rapidly when one component fails.

cheers
alan


Sorry to put this above the line but a few Catters have emailed me asking if I had heard anything and not everyone strays below the line.

Glad to hear they made it through OK (although I was hoping that subject header was going to be a song title).

Glad to know you're safe. We talked and sang together at the Maldon Folk Festival years ago.
Keep safe.
Regards from Joy and Hildebrand

Subject header almost was a song title! Alan wrote a song - "Cyclone Party" about a big cyclone which hit Northern Queensland a few years ago. Think this one was a bit bigger, though!

Oops! Just dug out the CD to listen to "Cyclone Party" again and spotted that it was written jointly by Alan and Judy and not just by Alan... sorry, Judy!!!
