What A Week! I’ve missed my daily routine. A Non-Fiction Short Story written by Colleen Millsteed.

I’m guessing most of you are aware I’ve been dealing with flooding and extreme weather events over the last ten days.

With this in mind I have not written anything for a week. Unheard of for me……..as I need to write. I need to empty my head and heart onto the screen to survive and stay sane.

Trust me……you don’t want to live in my head, especially if I can’t find the time to release some of the thoughts running around in there.

I do want to apologise as I’m a long way behind on my reading. I’m trying to catch up, I promise………..it’s absolutely amazing how much my stats have suffered because I’ve been absent for a week.

It’s been a rough ten days, what with the flooding and then dangerous thunderstorms day after day. We did manage 1.5 days of sunshine before being hit with another thunderstorm and wild weather yesterday afternoon. Two suburbs over from me experienced 8 to 9cm hail stones yesterday. I’m sorry but I’m thankful they did not make it to my suburb, but I feel for those that did experience this hailstorm on top of everything else.

So, just to give you an example of how my week has unfolded, here is a running commentary on my morning yesterday.
