This evening I heard from Nicci, my support person from Suncorp. The news is not so good. There is more damage which will require us to be out of the home for at least another month... and I think that may be 'best case scenario!' We have to make a further decision about accommodation. We are booked in here until the 21st June... not sure after that. Yes it is quite devastating to be virtually going home and the…

As you know it's been anticipated we'll be going home this coming Friday. Are we??? We don't at this point in time know! The bathroom is finished - they've done a beautiful job... laundry etc all done.. except... The kitchen and butlers needs the new vinyl. But... As they were pulling it up guess what happened? Did you guess right? Mold!!! Devastating!! I believe tomorrow the Suncorp assessor will be taking …

On Friday we had a beautiful day out. An angel friend gave me a gift to spend 'wherever needed"! So no-one else was home so we hired the Maxi Taxi to the surf club so we could walk the couple of km to the Mall. We did all that and had a most enjoyable day... but... Unfortunately, when the taxi lady was getting Selwyn out of the vehicle, she inadvertently put the lift to the ground, rather than up where it should…

I was just about to tell you we have 2.2 weeks left to go...(2 weeks, 2 days)... but... Yes, they've added another couple of weeks so now we're back to 4.2 weeks!! I'm yet to learn if we can stay put or not. Although the house here is very nice/good, I feel like we're in a prison. Can only go for walks up and down our little street. Doors always open for visits - makes us both happy. 23 Gadsby St Stony Rise An…

Ok, my appointment at the house went very well. The floor is down now, so walls to be plastered in this coming week, waterproofing, surveyor approval and then tiles... so it's all happening. I have nothing but praise for Suncorp and the building corporation. All the guys I deal with have been exceptional. We realised today that 1 week of our 5 weeks has already gone... where did that week go???

Decision made! I listened to the many comments you guys made and in the end decided you were right! We're staying put!! It's 19 metres from front door to back door in a straight line. I'm so happy to tell you that yesterday and today, Selwyn walked the whole way and back on a 2 wheeler walker with wheelchair following behind just in case. Praise the Lord indeed! He's come a long way since leaving hospital. H…

Yes, we have moved again and we were to move back out again on Wed... but somehow our booking by the river got screwed up. Apparently another insurance agency booked it for the exact same dates as we did, and at the same time... and AirBnb approved it straight away which doesn't normally happen. Michael the owner thought it was us. He usually approves the booking. So weird! Now we are in a brand new house especial…

Well, here we are, back in Victoria Parade! Oh my, it's all so tiring and a jolly good sleep is in order. Our time at The Sanctuary was nice enough but truly, we counted down the days for our return here. At this point in time it's only for 11 days and unless we receive a cancellation on this place we'll be on the move again!! Things have definitely been moving with our house so we are very hopeful we'll get to retur…

Here we are after one full day in the new airbnb. One thing I can say it sure gets plenty of sunshine... beautiful. But unfortunately our move was a complete fiasco. Removalists and taxi all organised yesterday for around 3pm. Taxi came so I left too so I could be at the new address. Many phone calls following me... they can't take the medical bed over un till the next day! What to do? Ring another wheelchair taxi…

Prayer Partner update: Last night I happened to ask the Lord for something today (regarding Selwyn) for me to exclaim... it's amazing! I guess I was kinda expecting just one thing... but no... the Lord had multiple things in mind!!! I was reminded on my prayer after I found myself exclaiming... it's amazing. So hard to express in a few words, but the difference thus week to only a few days ago in his ability to do h…
